Well…I'm sure the exhaust side of the turbo is probably covered in carbon deposits…and that's the thing…whether I pour Sea Foam in the oil or the intake (or even in the gas tank), the exhaust side won't see much of anything but white smoke. The bearings might get cleaned up at the very least…
On a side note…if I remove the turbo (hopefully easy - I'll be more than happy to know if there's a few things about removing the turbo on the 2.2L engine)…I could probably soak it in Sea Foam?

I was browsing Allpar.com about the TorqueFlite 3-speeds in these cars. Shifting out of Park results in a small jerk, shifting into Reverse results in a sharp jerk, and shifting out of Reverse and into Drive results in a very sharp jerk. I don't know if the car even hits 3rd gear…since 55 mph sounds like the engine is high RPM. Shifting from 1st to 2nd is smooth however. I'm afraid to do a WOT on this car for those reasons.
