Hey was just about to install my turbo kit and noticed some black buildup in my intake manifold, checked the pcv valve and it still rattles. I do drive my car pretty hard. Is this normal? Should I invest in a catch can? Or is there something else wrong with my motor?

 

Magic word is: Seafoam

Alright thanks for the tip, so a little buildup in the intake from the PCV is normal if you are not running a catch can etc.? I'm coming from B series engines in civics and havnt really seen this kind of "buildup" before.

 

I have 4 used intake manifolds and 3 have heavy black sludge on the inside.

 

Alright thanks for the help Sideways, answered all my questions! I'll continue my turbo install

 

I use to use it on my turbo integra but just know if you use seafoam there MIGHT be some risks such as fouling your sparkplugs because of the carbon being cleaned, and the risk of throwing a check engine light because of the cleaners flowing through your exhaust.

 

When I installed my 750cc injectors... WOW, was horrible. I myself need to get a catch can to help some of this build up.
