Came across an interesting youtube video about intake chemical cleaning (like seafoam) actually ruining turbos in Ford Ecoboost motors. Thought it'd be a good thing to share here. The video goes to say that all the added chemicals that get injected into the cylinders during the chemical...

So I guess I should have done this before. I have had my car for 2 weeks now with half of the time it was raining so I never really thought about cleaning it up until now. This is my first car so I do not know all the steps to take (waxing, claying, etc) I live in an apartment so I cannot use...
