No, I would not use that spot. Instead, use vacuum line off of BPV.

Post pics please. I've seen pics demonstrating this on older Subarus but none like mine.

Why wouldn't you want to use the brake booster line? Seems that most people I've seen use SF for induction cleaning use that vacuum line.

As a sanity check, I went into the garage and checked. On the 08/09 the brake booster line goes directly into the middle of the IM so it will feed all 4 intake manifold runners. I guess it's different on the earlier WRXs.
I couldn't see where the BPV line went...it heads under the IC. |

Here's a thought. You have an 06. I'd just run you gas down to a quarter, dump a can in and run it down to almost empty. Unless you really lug your engine or using crap gas, your fuel system shouldn't be all that bad. (of course you will miss the really cool smoke show) RP

I used a full can of Seafoam last night, but the results weren't quite what I had expected. No smoke at all! I did 1/3 in the gas tank, 1/3 in the oil reservoir, and 1/3 in the PCV hose. I followed the instructions exactly as written on the can. I'm thinking maybe I didn't use enough? Next fill-up I'm thinking of using a full can in the gas tank and split another can between the oil reservoir and the PCV hose. Should that do the trick?

I personally would not put it in the oil. I don't really trust anything other than oil in the crankcase. If you think it is dirty in there, then do a couple short OCIs with a high detergent oil.
On the other hand, in the fuel tank and induction through the intake system is fine. You must not have much carbon build up on the valves/pistons. If you've been running top tier 91+ octane fuel, then you probably wouldn't on a 2006. |

Yes I highly encourage you to not go very long with that stuff in your crankcase. It is going to shear the hell out of the oil you have in there (it will come out at a much lower viscosity than it should) so I wouldn't drive it too hard with the SF in the oil.

I've used 2+ cans of Seafoam so far and was not able to produce any smoke. The first can I did 1/3 in the gas tank, 1/3 in the oil reservoir, and 1/3 via the hose pictured below. A few fill ups later I decided to use 1 full can in the gas tank and sucked up an additional 1/3 can via the hose below. Am I doing something wrong?

I used 1/4 can of Seafoam and introduced into BPV vacuum line. It produced minor white smoke, but nothing like what people have described in this thread. Guess result varies

What makes you say this? The instructions on the can specifically say to do so. All the videos I've seen reinforce this. The majority of Seafoam users also mention that they sucked it up into the hose as well.

sort of a weird question, but would spraying the foam onto your top mount IC while the car is running work?
