CRC GDI Intake Valve Cleaner

Found this on the shelf at work today.


CRC products are usually pretty good stuff, any thoughts, experience?

Works good on my MKS. Even checked it afterwards with a borescope.

Best stuff to use. I used it with the intake manifold off once and it worked better than any other cleaner i tried. Pea cuts the carbon right off. Cleans the turbos and exhaust manifolds also

Have used it based on recommendation here. Can confirm it works.

In regards to using it, obviously I would prefer not to take off the intake, and it gives two methods on the can. The "professional" one is to remove a vacuum line that leads to the intake, and use that as the entry point. The "diy" method is to remove the intake tube and spray through the TB. Honestly, it seems like they've got the "professional" and "diy" backwards as the vacuum line sounds like the much simpler/easier method.

So how did everyone do it?

Thanks.

OR, you can get a meth injection system. Go faster and clean the valves.

Good thought, but I'm not looking to get that serious (or spend that much), at least right now
