Hi Chaz, I have recently bought a morrays power booster kit with the intention of running either distilled water or petrol in my deisel. I was wondering where you connected the vacuum hose to. Cheers

I paid someone lots of $$$ to have mine removed and put through some kind of ultrasonic dishwasher, I felt this was better than running it through the engine. Mine was done at 198,000kms
You can buy a liquid moly intake cleaning product from supercheap which runs a tube into the throttle body and you give it little squirts while the car is idling, it may throw an error code during the process so you may need something to clear that too.

Hi Chazalby,
You can see it on the bottom left picture. It goes into a plastic elbow on the intake tube that feeds the Provent catchcan. It should work if you connect it anywhere between the MAF and turbo where the intake pressure is the lowest.
I had it adjusted to deliver about 1 drop every 5 or so seconds at idle. The higher the air velicity, the more petrol would be consumed. I only ran this system for a couple of months as it turned the oil very dirty black after a short time and after a few oil changes the oil remained fairly clean, so I removed it. Also, eventually the dripper container did perish from the petrol, so another reason to remove it, but it did the job.
Cheers,
