Seafoam is naptha.
A very harsh solvent which breaks a lot of stuff loose.
All the junk has to go by your turbo impeller as it exits the engine.
Possible to do damage to the turbine blade.

I would only use naptha in an engine that is junk...

I used Seafom in all of my Turbocharged Audis with no problems at all. I just replaced my KKK turbo for a Garrett on my 200 and the turbo is intact. Don't know how intricate the Benz engines are to react to the Seaform but the Audi engines have no ill effect...

Once it's iused, connect everything together hose wise, drive her hard and get ready for the smoke screen.... ala' Death Race.....
