Default darn EGR

Trying to get my old TB cleaned up...soaking it in deep creep. I could only chip off a little bit of the carbon. If my tb looks this bad just imagine the inside of my intake

EGR's been unhooked for several months after installing headers. But that's years and years of buildup. I've got it cleaned up pretty good except the cracks around the shaft it's really hard to get. I wonder if the carbon build up in my intake is robbing me of significant power. I've seafoamed the engine and intake a while ago, but there's no way it can really clean it up.

Well I've been thinking of adding the TBSS intake. I'm too lazy to pull the intake off an clean it lol.

This is as good as it's gonna get. Opens up nice and smooth now.

On electronic throttle it is amazing how much better they idle when they are clean.
