[quote="avera01"]Hi Mike,
Are you referring to CRC GDI IVD intake valves & Turbo cleaner? That is the only product I found related to your response.
If so, from what point in the intake system are you applying the spray? The instructions calls for spraying it past the MAF sensor.
If easy to apply, can you elaborate on how you do it?
Please correct me if I am wrong (not experienced in providing this type of maintenance service), but it appears to be more trouble than adding an oil catch can; if either method makes any difference on a stock engine.[/quote]

Sorry for the delay in responding. I wasn't notified that you responded. Must be a way of turning that on.
Yes, CRC GDI IVD intake valves & Turbo cleaner. In my area Pepboys sells it at a discount. I bought 4. Plan on using it every 2-3k miles. I followed the instructions on the can. After warming up the engine, I disconnected the air intake and sprayed past the MAF engine rpm maintained at about 2500 rpm, spraying intermittently if or as rpm dropped. Plan on using a long piece of tubing so I can spray while sitting in the cabin to use the throttle. No helper needed. Heat soak for an hour then drive as instructed. the stuff keeps on working apparently for several days. The engine may miss or run rough occasionally as mine did once, that is normal as the carbon continues to shed off. I recently had Sakebomb Garage install the Edelbrock supercharger. I had the intake valves walnut blasted even though the carbon build up was not too bad. After reading about catch cans I will definitely be adding one later on. It's tough to add it now because the super charger has to be pulled. I'll wait about 5k miles and then do it. Should be a good test of the CRC valve cleaner also. Let me know if you want more info. Best, Michael
