Has anyone tried walnut blasting there SHO?
I'd love to find a place in Orlando that would do it affordably. I watched some youtube clips of other makes having it done and the difference is staggering. I'm basically sold on the process, just want to find a place that can do it. I think the issue is that BMW uses a special tool that fits exactly into one intake route at a time and prevents the dust from getting on other parts. To my knowledge they do not make that piece for our motors. It can still be done, no problem, but it has to be freehand instead of with a fancy specialty tool.

There is a shop in South Miami (Nationwide Transmissions) that does it for Benz & BMW's, he has 2 of those vacuum tips that lets him blast and vacuum at the same time but doesn't know if he can use it for the yamaha engine. I settled for this combustion cleaner and fuel injection cleaner he supplies , as soon as he figures that out i will definitely consider it.

They did for Gens 1-3. The Ecoboosts are all Ford.
Thank for correcting that
Most welcome, sir! Believe you me, I was disappointed that there would be no more Yamaha bits in the "new" SHO, but at least we HAVE a SHO!

Any luck on finding one?
no, been pretty busy and never followed up on the blasting, pardon me.
