Where to place Seafoam after rear PCV hose delete?
 
Hello,

I recently performed the rear PCV hose delete and was wondering where I'd be able to introduce seafoam into the engine now that the rear pcv hose is gone?

Also, on that note, I'd appreciate if someone could assist me with this issue I developed once the PCV hose was removed:

Thank you! :thumbsup:

Once you put that plug in you're out of the Seafoam game. I would NOT dump it in the tube before the turbo as all it's going to do is pool inside your intercooler. If you really have the itch to put seafoam in your intake, you can take the plug out of the intake manifold and put the original PCV hose on temporarily. For how minimally effective seafoam is at removing carbon buildup, I wouldn't even bother. I stopped doing it all together on my car. I just manually clean my valves when needed now.

Or, you could look at this. Seems interesting

I have two possibile fixes.
1) put the tube back on the valve cover while seafouming and remove after.
2) get an extra delete plug put a small hole in it for the tube of the SPRAY seafoum, put it in the intake manifold. You will get a spray of Seafoum closer to the valves with this option.

I was wondering the same thing myself. Putting the hose back on is a pita and IIRC, getting to the plug on the intake manifold is also a pita. I was going to use the spray seafoam, loosen the hose clamp on the cold air pipe (passenger side upstream of the noismaker tee) and stick the tube in there, but I chickened out and thought I would ask here first. What do you guys think?

I don't use seafoam as it doesn't really work......but,

In my setup, the PCV port is blocked with a BSH dual port tap. I could just take the tap out to the boost gauge and spray the seafoam in there.

But I don't use seafoam....
