Does Leslie still do walnut blasting? I changed my plugs and one coil after the sudden onset of sever misfire resulting in lots of engine shaking and loss of power. Repair fixed it but there is still a small stutter at idle. 104,000 km without a cleaning.
Thanks! |

But I'm afraid, doesn't all the carbon junk end up in the turbo? |

No but on the exhaust side. Some carbon chunks could come of and they can go in the exhaust gas to make the turbo spin no?

I would be more worried about scored cylinder walls than turbo but i see your concern. I would say very unlikely.. Blast them first then maintain them..

I'm at 97 000KM you think should be fine for the CRC sprayer? Might do it after winter. |

But yes it could be possible that the CRC cleaner may loosen deposits which could then find its way into the cylinder chamber and out through the turbo. Many people might not care but in my opinion the turbo seals are delicate already and I push those things hard enough. I don't want to worry about stuff getting caught in them. Think about getting a catch can to prevent buildup. Might be able to stay on top of the cleaning then. |

I'm moving to London at the end of the month and I'm looking to have my 2015 335 walnut blasted soon. Not sure it really needs it at 100k but it's more preventative I guess. I've read some good things about Leslie but the posts were 2-3 years old. Is he still doing it or is Paradigm the new go to?

I can't vouch for the shop under the new ownership (no experience). BUT down the street is Unique Workshop, Victor is knowledgeable and well priced. For walnut blasting, our own member Nachos23 can help for a good price. Located in Whitby.

He replied to the other thread, so I'm guessing he's seen his PMs now too.
Good luck!
