Me too.... I read of folks paying $$$$ for a ' walnut blast '... (for their car or them?????)... but my 06 R50 seems to be a lot more PERKY with Sea Foam.

The walnut blast is really for direct injection systems. If someone is paying to get it done with a traditional injection like the R50/R53 then I would have to say its a waste of money.
