Just got finished there. I think I was the last guy in the January GB, I had an appointment for last week, but the snow/ice caused a delay. I don't have pictures, Boris took some, so I'll ask him. I honestly went in wondering if it would be worth it since my car is low miles, but it made a pretty significant difference. The pics he showed me were pretty bad, not the worst I've seen, there were no big chunks sitting on the valve stems, but they were coated thickly in carbon.

Now that it's done, the car idles better. I was having a small stumble in idle, that's gone. And throttle response is much better, tip in is smoother. Before, it was almost like an on/off switch. Step on the gas a little, nothing happened, then step on it more and the car would jerk. Now I can modulate it. No idea if the car is faster, but the drivability is so much better now. Definitely worth it.

For reference, mine is an '07 w/ 41K. The buildup was worse than I would have guessed based on the low miles. Next week I'm installing an RB PCV valve and check valve along with BMS OCC to hopefully slow the future buildup.

Contacted Boris at SMS today and was informed if I could get atleast another 10 cars together, he will do another group buy. He can't go as low on pricing as the last group buy but it's not far off and still a great deal. PM me for pricing and how to reserve a spot. Thank you!

Ended up getting a Walnut blast without the group buy as I just got it packaged in with a bunch of other work I was getting done and I wasn't originally getting much response here. If someone wants to take over trying to get people together go for it, but no more PMs to me regarding it please, thanks.
