PA water injection treatment, would this help

My friend took my car to kdr (I was busy so couldn't go to my appt), while he was tuning it he notice that it was binging. So my friend recorded this for me, explaining what was happening.

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/61c3pswYJ0s&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/61c3pswYJ0s&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

So I'm wondering if it's the carbon that making my seal stuck would the water injection treatment help loosen them up? If so which vacuum line do I use to add in the water? Can I use the one in the Pic? If not can someone show me which one.



Thanks

The hose your pointing to is that the brake vaccum?

thats where I ran water through, just got a long clear tube, put it in a bucket of water, got her warmed up, floored it pretty much, your friend lets go of a kink in the clear hose, water gets sucked up, engine sounds like lawnmower. Keep the car on, if it starts to bog down have your friend kink the line more till it can stay running and keep repeating till you've ran about a gal.

I did it to mine, for no reason. It ran smoother, we did it to my friends 79SA 12a and it was able to run 2k rpm more.

You got a S4, maybe turbo?

bigger pic please of the engine, I got a s5 my intake looks nothing like that so I need a bigger pic instead of searching for s4 pics.

though (don't yell at me guys) those tubes do look like fuel line (Atleast that go on my fuel pump)

http://filesend.it/view.php?userid=1...9ffb354d77.png

See on my picture there, the little lonely tube thats going straight outta the right of the intake and goes down, s5 thats the brake vacum hose.

Pull off that tube right there I suppose, if fuel comes out then put it back on lol, if not try to start your car and if it doesnt start, it's a vaccum line.

I really cant tell by the pics though what exactly it is.

take a look at the fsm for your year (look for da links in the sticky)

Do what I said if you want, could save you some reading if its a vaccum you can suck air through it lol.

The fsm will tell you the brake vaccum thats the one Id use.
