so is this "Seafoam" stuff really useful? what does it do?
Simply.. It removes carbon deposits from the intake, pistons, and cylinder walls. I noticed about a 10% increase in mileage after doing mine at 75K miles.

Oh yeah, Racer, unless the sun has done some major damage to the paint, it doesn't look mint. no pun intended.

I'll ask my brother, he's a porsche enthusiast, he could tell me what year/model it is, and i'll check what paint options were available that year.

ok if you look at the picture that shows a boost gauge silicone hoses split with the 3way connector. i think he wants to know which one of those would you use. there are three to pick from. you wouldnt use the hose on the right cuz that goes to the gauge . so it leaves the bottom hose and then the one on the left.(its the same source) i'm guessing you want to use the one on the bottom.

I just did mine and used the hose from the FPR. Worked like a charm. White Clouds of smoke engulved the enitre neighborhood. My neighbor even came over and
asked if everything was alright and he was about to call the Fire Dept. I told him that I am just cleaning my intake system and that this is quite normal.
He asked what the heck I was using and I told him Seafoam which actually was developed during World War II to keep the tanks and trucks running even underless than
ideal conditions. He was impressed and said he would get some and try it on his truck. Maybe we can start a trend and everyone in the neighborhood could do it at the same time. I bet someone really will call the Fire Dept. [8D]

It's amazing stuff. Probably one of the best secrets out there. When I bought my TT I had an idle that violently shook the steering wheel, not rough persay, but made the steering wheel vibrate like crazy. 1/2 a canSeafoam through the fpr line, 1/3in the oil for about 200-300 miles, andthe restin the gas and your car will be so smooth you will swear it's new. Just be careful about the giant clouds of smoke, they WILL scare people and they are toxic to breathe.Drive the car a little afterwards to loosen stuff up.Also did my mom's lexus rx300 and I had people stopping on the road wondering if the car was on fire.
