walnut blasting...

IEDEI · 03-16-2015, 10:17 AM

alright so i'm at 55k miles. am starting to wonder if i should get walnut blasting done to clean up any carbon deposition.

my car does NOT feel sluggish in any way and pulls like a freight train in every gear....so i'm debating whether it is really needed or not.

How many of you have had the carbon cleaning done? at how many miles did you do it? was it really caked up inside?

Have it scoped- but I'd lean towards yes. Assuming you go to someone who knows what they're doing (and won't foul an injector, etc.) then you find it pulls harder and revs easier.

How could you foul an injector?

Just did it at 48k and it needed it bad, and pretty much everyone says it's a good idea around 50k.
