Hi all

I was wondering if anyone has a good idea or fix for preventing the carbon build up in the throttle body. I have a ba xr6t and every 7500km I clean out the throttle body because it gets a build up of carbon which can sometimes affect the idling of the car. Is there a product I can use or do I just keep cleaning it out. Anyone know where it comes from?

Its a really black powdery stuff. I just use a rag with my fingers or a screwdriver to wipe it out. I'm assuming its carbon but could be wrong...?

most likely oil coming into the pipework either from the turbo itself or the rocker cover breather which returns back into the intake piping.

a catch can will reduce this in theory
