Clean out S/C Intake system
Okay because of Ford's crappy PCV system how the hell am I supposed to clean out all this oil. It's EVERYWHERE and I'm sure it's fuggered up my FMIC and all over the MAF too. I'm almost thinking about dumping seafoam or something through the inlet in the charge pipe and running throug the blower and everything.

RE: Clean out S/C Intake system
Seafoam is a DSm thing... If you could take off the blower maybe simple green or mineral spirits? I don't think either would hurt the seals. Would it be bad to, after you figure out the PCV thing, just let the system clean itself out as much as it would? The I/C can be cleaned with any clenser, i'm sure jsut as long as you clean out all the cleanser when you're done.

The I/C is what I'm worried about. I'm sure that all those passages are all clogged with dirt and oil. I don't even want to think about what the end tanks look like. [&o]

There's alot of bends and crap. Should I just get a big *** bucket of ****ing water and **** and give it a bath?

I would call Vortech and ask them before doing anything.

ATI is right here in KC so maybe I'll just run over there. It seems like my car is stuttering and I hope it doesn't have to do with the dirt and oil getting into the intake system.
