This baby gets plugged up with soot and so do the banjos and possibly the lines connecting them. When they do, kiss your turbo boost goodbye.
As stated in his signature AND posts, this car is a non-turbo, so it doesn't have the items to clean that you keep bringing up.

Also in his post he states that the valves were adjusted...

See paragraph 1.....

It is always nice to help, but pay attention to the details. We don't usually get info as good as his first post. Very thorough!
