Intake valve cleaning in the bay area

tom · 08-21-2011, 03:30 PM

Has anyone in the bay area had their intake valves cleaned out and if so could you recommend me a shop? I'm a little over 50k miles and am sure my intake valves are quite dirty.

Thanks!

if u do a search in the turbo section you will find it...there is a place near san mateo i believe that was mentioned in that thread with contact info...its about $500-$800 depending on how much clean up is required.
