i was reading on rotary resurrection and they said that you can clean the engine's internals by feeding water through a vacuum line so here is my question. has anyone done this themselves on an S5 turbo and can you use the line going to the air pressure sensor.

Water works, just keep the engine at a high idle and don't drown it. As it turns to steam it breaks up the carbon.

This isn't a cureall, but it can be good preventative maintenance.

Obviously make sure the car is nice and toasty before you begin and don't drown it.
