From those pics I am thankful I have a catchcan

So I have been thinking of seafoaming my car after I take it out of storage and I have a couple of questions. I know we are suppose to use the spray that enters through the tb to get an even distribution throughout. But I was wondering I already have my IM off so could I spray some seafoam directing into the holes under the IM (forgot the name ) then attach my IM and then spray some on both sides of my tb put everything back together and finish off the bottle doing it how I am suppose to. Don't wanna damage anything but thought maybe that would help with an even distribution??? I don't think mine looks as bad as the pictures above but I did got about 12k miles without a catch can. So who knows.

Got bored of Forza. Mario Kart is awesome! Miss smash brothers and Golden Eye. Ahh memories

Really miss Crash Bandicoot. That game was fun and very different. Wish they would bring it back

As for the carbon build up. When I did my black ice mod. My valves looked like that x a million since I still didn't buy a catch can.

Now to the seafoam question. I would love to know the answers to those questions as well

Have you guys played the new Forza Horizon? I love that game! My BMW Z4 is an absolute monster! I dropped an M5 Engine into that thing and upgraded the turbos to race turbos and the power on that thing is insane!!

I'd love to know about the seafoam as well. I hate that I've been meaning to get a catch can but I just haven't got around to it. As soon as I have the money for it, something comes up that I spend my money on that other thing. Either way, I have a friend who is a gm tech and I'm just gonna see if he will do the upper induction cleaning on the car.

Take a look at the saikou catch can. It has a similar (I think better) separation system to the RX but without the check valves that seem to be an issue.
It's a custom tank so for people with the IPF SC system the connections sizes can be modified.
