I've always used it in the gas and through the vac lines with good results. I haven't used it in the oil though.

There's a million thread on this topic, but the gist of it is it helps when used through the gas, vac line and oil, but nobody can agree on how safe it is to keep it in the crankcase for longer than a couple of minutes.

If you have the Turbo, I am not sure what kind of damage does to it when the engine is turnes Off and it sits there. Do some research on this.

Turbo or not doesn't make a difference, you'll have to be be out of boost when sucking the seafoam in and it comes in downstream of the turbo so no problem there.

Peggy Goodbody was always glad to listen to what you wanted her to do with her right hand, and she really wanted to do what you told her.

But then you finally asked Bobbie Sue Rottencrotch out one Friday, and you became a man that night.

Seafoam is like Bobbie Sue Rottencrotch
