Off topic: Decarbonising Variable vane turbo

[GazM3]

Hey guys..

Is there a spray or chemical mix that can be used to decarbonize my turbo on my LR3 as the variable vanes are sticking and im loosing my low speed boost. If I can free it up it will save me pulling it out

Sorry for the off BMW topic:cool

[flexer]

seafoam? Works great to de-carbonize everything I have used it on.

After some research I found, Subaru Australia bring it in an put thier name on it
We have mo seafoam dealer here in Aust and I can't import them cos they are hazardous goods

The Aussie chicks are very...ahem...very open minded though...:cool

Yes Aussie chicks are very nice but you take them for granted when you are here. To an Aussie, American chicks are very hot. Infact most foreign chicks are orsome. Its funny when you travel overseas, you are the foreigner and the hot girls just love you to talk in your accent.

Im not a fan of the vegimite, it must be an aquired taste.

Australia is a nice place to live, but being iscolated has its disadvantages. We are still paying $40-50000aud for a 2nd hand E46 m3, and an E90 m3 off the showroom floor is a nasty $175000aud which is about 180k usd (ouch), you cant buy a house in Melboune or Sydney under $500k, and in Melbourne we have a strictly enforced 65mph max speed, this is why most people with a high performance car do some sort of motorsport (track days / drag racing).

Im learning alot in the FI section, and hope to have the twin screw up and running in a few weeks (having standalone and being tuned now), and after a small rest for the finances to recover, Im looking forward to taking on the daily driver M20b25 E34, with a dirty big snail on the exhaust.

BTW - The seafoam is sold here by subaru as "subaru upper engine cleaner".

Done the proceedure, and after a small smoke show, I have no error code and my low turbo pressure is restored. Better than a 12hr removal of turbo (or replacement turbo). Its an early test i know, but no error codes, but the signs are good.
