Carbon building up in your intake ports? Take care of it quick and easy with this DIY media blaster kit from Bav auto. This walnut shell media blaster kit contains everything you need to effectively clean and de-carbon the intake ports and valves on your turbocharged N20, N54, or N55 BMW engine. Taking your vehicle to the dealer to have this service performed, you would be looking at a cost of around $1000 or more! This kit saves you money and can be used as many times as you need to ensure perfectly clean intake ports for optimum airflow and performance. Included in this kit: 20lb pressure feed media blaster including water separator and pressure gauge blasting wand N54/N55 port adapter (attaches to your shop vac to catch the used media and deposits) 25lb package of walnut shell blasting media Use of this kit requires a medium sized air compressor (suggested minimum 20-30 gallon tank, 4.0 CFM @ 90psi), common "shop vac" and full hearing and eye protection. We recommend the use of a remote starter switch. Please note: Intake manifold gasket set and Throttle body gasket, sold separately, must be replaced when removing intake manifold.
