Default Need help with the S/C

i tryed to put seafoam in my engine by taking off the vac. hose by the t/b and put the tube into a cup and letting it suck it into the intake (like napa and the bottle instructed) but yeah i did this my boost hardly goes up now and sounds like my Bov is sticking, i took it off and cleaned it and made sure no lines were cut or disconnected but still it sunds like its sticking. just wondering what u guys think is going on. the seafoam went only threw the vac. hose and nothen else. but also it got harder to get to boost like i had to slam the pedal to get it to high boost. here is a link about seafoam

Give it a few more hours or a few hours of driving... is all i can say. Seafoam did great for my engine and burnt everything off. Not sure what to advise...

Yeah cause I used 4 different areas. I used the gas tank, the crankcase, exhaust manifold and the throttle body vac. So far, everything went well lol.

Sorry to change subject and revive this old thread bug I had a few questions about seafoaming a TC with a supercharger..

Was it ok just sucking up the 1/3 can of seafoam up the vacuum line? Car didn't run TOO lean or throw any CEL?
How is your S/C'd motor doing now after a year of being seafoamed?

Thanks!!
