So I finally went to get a walnut blasting done on my 2008 Audi R8. I brought it to Bill from Garage Autosports in Toronto Canada. I personally did not know if the car ever had an intake cleaning done, so I wanted to get it done for the peace of mind and boost in performance. Bill was kind enough to let me film the process so I can show you guys what the valves look like.
Great post! Thanks. Forgive me, I'm new to the R8 world... I installed catch cans on my other direct injected engines. Is that something that people recommend?
Very good question to my knowledge there is no catch can available for the Audi R8. I had a oil catch can on my 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 coyote engine and it did an amazing job of keeping the intake valves clean

I dont think those years (2011-12) were DI, so catch can wouldnt really have done much anyway. Catch can wont help,our cars all that much. Carbon build up will happen almost no matter what.

Jaynick1, I disagree.
1. The 2008 Audi R8 V8 is indeed DI
2. A proper AOS (Air Oil Separator) will do a great job of holding off (not stopping) carbon build-up.
I am having my 2008 R8 cleaned via walnut shell this week. I am then going to install an AOS to help stave off carbon. I am having an issue finding the PCV valve diagrams for my engine though. Anyone?
This is a REALLY good question! I have been looking for a diagram of the PCV system and so far... not been able to find one. As soon as we have this, we can formulate a plan.
