I have used 'Wurth' products to clean the top end before...def made a difference.

Throttle body cleaner, injector cleaner thru the vacuum system , fuel system cleaner....

Yes, the vacuum injected stuff is much like seafoam, I 've never used seafoam but heard it also works well. The VW crowd swears by it.

I only used the Wurth stuff because my Audi indy shop stocks/uses it, it's hard to find retail...seafoam you can find anywhere tho (PeP boyz, etc)

I've used seafoam on another car before. It can cause issues with the O2s so I did it before I was putting new O2s in anyway. Not sure what it really did if anything to the engine - what it did do was create an AWESOME cloud and I proceeded to fog up the whole neighborhood

Been using the Aces IV for a few months now, seemed to add a bit of kick, slightly smoothed out the top end. Can't say it a huge difference as others have stated in the past, but helps a bit I believe. Further testing, I'll try running without it, when I run out, think I like it...
