Hey Guys
I'm in Ottawa and I go to Toronto often and I was wondering if there are any Indy shops that in the GTA that do walnut blasting ? I hear only the dealers in Ottawa do this and its quite expensive Thanks |

Leslie from the Markville Mall area is your man. He's at (647)922-5545. You can text him at that number and arrange for a time with him. He's got a lot of people vouching for his work.

I just bought and picked up my car at 3pm yesterday and dropped it off to Leslie yesterday at 4pm for walnut blasting, intake manifold cleaning, etc. I left and went back at 11pm. Ended up leaving from his garage at 4am, as we ran into a small setback. Down to earth guy. The connector to my mass air flow sensor got caught in the intake manifold as he was putting it back, and it sheared it off.
Leslie then cut the connector from his own 335is and we soldered it onto my car. No issues. My car has relatively high kms, and the intake valves were extremely carbonized. He had to spend extra time and material (walnut shells), but the results were amazing. Felt a major difference afterwards...as I drove back home (4 hrs away from Toronto). |

I keep hearing about how great Leslie is. He is also the guy to contact for the muffler PE mod. What is the name of Leslie's shop?

A better option is to have an aluminum charge pipe with a bung welded. Run the car and spray CRC through the charge pipe a few times a year. this is easy cheap and will keep the buildup low. Walnut blasting has to be performed every 10 K because it doesn't take long to reach that level again.
