Even with all that gone, you still get carbon build up from the valve overlap. The only way to avoid it is to clean it off, either by port injection or manual cleaning.

Posted this in another thread but no feedback there. Did anyone notice there are no changes to the 2017 BRZ rear bumper diffuser area like the upcoming 2017 Toyota 86?

You're forgetting PCV. TGV isn't going to cause carbon build up like that. EGR has it's own issues why it shouldn't be removed that are far too long to get into in this thread.

Not according to Turn in customs or other tuners for the wrx platform. I admittedly don't know enough about carbon build up, just that this is what they recommend.

Yep, I really want to hear his feedback (in English). I know with his first impression back in 2012, he felt it needed more torque. I wonder if he feels they made a noticeable improvement now...

Didn't he say our old model if driven blind folded could be fooled as a Bimmer ///M car in handling.

From the picture he's still wearing those cool ARD Vespers (basically Asics Budokans).
