    I've never used seafoam on a supercharged car and it has me a bit concerned that running it through a vacuum line will run it through the charger.

    1st off, if it does get into the supercharger, is that a bad thing? I cant remember how volatile the seafoam stuff is.

    Have any of you ever ran seafoam through your vac lines to clean the injectors out, and if so, does it matter on the vacuum line?

    GT guys run it through the brake booster lien because it feeds all cylinders, however you don't want to do that on a GTP because it could strip the s/c rotors.

    You wan to run it through the middle vac line that is on top of thew S/C, it feeds all the cylinders but won't pass through the s/c.

    um, what? how in the world is the middle line going to be any different than the brake booster like it's right next to? The only line that doesn't run through the SC is on the front of the engine (accessory side) and connects to the MAP, FPR, and BBV solenoid.

    This is the writeup I've always used. Never had any issues with it.
