I would say I feel a noticeable difference and the motor seems to rev more freely.
    Cool thanks for the nod, I think I'm gonna do it. I've heard enough great things about it that I'm on board. I've got nearly 150k and she's a bit sluggish, so I'm sure I've got some buildup in there. I just hope I don't foul any plugs since I just replaced them about 8k ago, or any O2 sensors. Did you have any issues with CEL's, plugs, sensors or anything afterwards? Did you change your oil after driving it for 50-100 miles as well?

    I watched the vid on your IG, in fact that's what started this whole mess for me haha. Very nice car by the way, that things is cleeean

    You didn't actually pour it into the brake booster itself, did you? I would think you'd pour it into the vacuum hose that goes to the brake booster.

    I think if I was to do it I would fill from the f-tube on the intake boot so it spreads evenly through the manifold

    Interesting... might be a dumb question, but from what part of the "F"?

    Anyone tried this?

    Now that I actually popped my hood I don't see an easy way to do it. Maybe if you get a piece of vac line from the parts store and just attach it to one of the ports on the f pipe

    I agree. I would go before the pump if it sucks or buy vacuum line and go to the port on the intake/blank.
