I do it all the time
I do it every oil change, cleans out all the gunk. Plus it shoots out cool smoke

I wish this were the case with the direct injection engines on our second gen turbos. But since it isn't, gotta keep seafoaming and catch-canning until it is time to pull the intake manifold apart and get dirty.

If there are no tracks where I live, wouldn't drive on the highway even at the posted speed limit in a gear that will bring the RPM to 6-7000 RPM for the same amount of time you spend at the track get the same result?

We have used this a bunch here and the results are dramatic and scary. The amount of crap that is removed is most impressive, but super crappy that we have to deal with it at all!

Best of luck Foaming!
