Hi all. I have a 2015 S4 6MT which is currently GIAC dual pulley with an AWE 57.55mm S/C pulley and 183mm Fluidampr crank pulley. I also have a divorced loop AWE Coldfront heat exchanger and coolant reservoir (but not the separate coolant pump). I recently contacted Evan at Tampa Autosports to get a ported blower. I paid him the additional core deposit so I still have the stock blower on my car and am driving it in the meantime. I will be pulling the stock blower myself but having my local shop re-install the new one to ensure I don't mess anything up.
My question is: should I have anything else done while the blower is off, preventative or otherwise? I have a buddy also doing the ported blower and he is having the shop do a new thermostat and PCV. I recently installed a boost tap and while the S/C elbow was off, I noticed some (not tons, but a little) black residue inside. I know a full carbon cleaning is common for our engines but I really don't want to take on a ton more labor hours and am trying to keep the out-the-door cost at a reasonable level. For reference the car has 39k miles (30k since stage 1 tune, 20k since stage 2, and about 3k since dual pulley).
Any tips, suggestions, or evidence would be extremely appreciated. Thank you!
Taylor
