It's understood intake and valve carbon buildup is inherent to FSI /GDI fuel delivery method. According to Berryman's Q&A responses, product #2610 has been recommended to assist in removing carbon deposits. Multi-part question:
Question #1: Due to the V10 volume, how many simultaneous cans of product #2610 are required to effectively and safely saturate and remove carbon on intake valves during a treatment? Is repetitive treatments required to treat moderate to severe intake carbon buildup?
Question #2: Will combining a 50/50 mixture of products #2610 and #2616 to the response of question #1 provide better cleaning results?
Question #3: Assuming responses to questions #1 and #2 are viable, what would be Berryman's average treatment frequency using the above treatment method?

Berryman part #2610 has not been tested in GDI engines specifically for intake valve deposit removal. It is expected that the product will have at least moderate efficacy but that simply has not yet been empirically demonstrated. Additionally, because it has not been tested in this application, it is not known if one can would be sufficient or if a second can would be required. As for mixing the two products, that is not advisable as they make use of different types of detergents that are designed for the method of delivery specific to each product. Instead, 2610 would be the more appropriate product of the two.
