As curious as I am about this, I think I'm going to stay away from it, and maybe only try it on beater cars..
I've done it on my sc300 with 180k and i felt a big difference it was much quieter quicker acceleration.

Hm, something that helps clean your engine or being lazy and cranking up the boost which could potentially harm your engine...

hmmm

Ya but I'm worried about the engine failing a lot sooner than it normally would as a result of this..

im with you on this scenforcer----i dont think i want to experiment on this with my car as it is right now------it has low miles and has given me no problems.

I can understand doing this to a car with higher mileage and the car may be sluggish or desperate for a cleaning ---but like the saying goes--if it aint broken dont fix it---im not going to bother
