Default Seafoam 2.0T B7????

Just curious if anyone has Seafoamed their 2.0T. I know how these cars are...and don't want to f*#k something up. I have close to 70,000 and wanted to do this before I change oil in a couple thousand.......

you can run regular seafoam in your gas tank just like any other fuel injector cleaner, however, it does concern me about the deep creep, because of the turbo in the car and how clean your engine needs to run to begin with, putting a product in there that sweeps out all the other carbon which will get fed into your turbo before being release into the air which logically could damage the turbo, i would check with a tech before doing the deep creep but i don;t see anything wrong with putting regular seafoam in your gas

umm yea kind of, theres two types theres regular seafoam ....alot like stp fuel injector cleaner....then there is seafoam deep creep, which you put inside your engine, manifold, pretty much anywhere you want clean....and that gets rid of all your carbon build up in your vehicle,

seafoam is a great product it just worries because if this was the 3.2 N/A a4 i would say no problem but since there is a turbo and they tend to be very delicate i would just ask a local mechanic or an audi tech what they thought of deep creepin the car
