    seafoam actually makes a product that has an application tube that you can use right before the throttle body. Sea Foam | Sea Foam Spray | General Content - Sea Foam Spray

    Pull the vac hose off of the break booster and stick it in the cup and let it suck it all up.

    Put it in after the supercharger if you like your rotor coating.

    Im a fan of using the vac hose off the LIM under the snout. Keeps the coating intact on the rotors.

    If it strips your coating, it means your coating was already coming off.

    Does it? Take your blower off and pour it on them and tell me it doesn't strip your coating.

    I'd rather not....lol! But I have seafoamed my car every year for the last six years and I pulled my rotor pack a few weeks ago, while changing my coupler, and the coating is in great condition.

    what will happen if your rotor coating comes off? i think i will put the seafoam under the snout of the s/c on the lim.

    Super clean didn't take my rotor coating off.

    Cleaned the carbon off nicely though.

    If your coating comes off, you will lose boost. You can put seafoam in any vac line you like, it's gonna make it to the SC no matter where you put it in. It's a closed system. If your rotor coating is already coming off, it can help strip the rest off.

    Go with the vac line so be located right by your master cylinder. Works great just make sure you do it slow and not super fast i think its less effective if your car shuts off while in the process of sucking up the seafoam. Seafoam also makes a product called deep creep spray some of that directly into your throttle body that will also help
