I'm scheduled for the walnut blast on Monday. My question is...moving forward what steps can I take to prevent this from happening again? Should I be using a product such as ZMAX every 5,000K ?
By the way I've always changed the oil in my car every 5,000K and I only put in Shell 91 gas. |
After reading as much as I have.
I have come to the conclusion;
Carbon build up on intake ports is a common issue, and nothing to be overly worried about.
Every 40-50km get it done.
I have heard of this being done as low as $300. And as high as $1100.
I could have done it myself, but was just busy, and no local Indy shop to do it.... There are none around me.
Lol
Carbon build up is a devil, we have to live with owning a twin turbo car.
