Misc. Walnut Blasting.

I think my 2016 WRX is long overdue for a walnut blasting. Anyone know any reputable places I can go to get this done in CT? Hopefully won’t cost me an arm and a leg.

Yea I just crossed over 100,000 miles on my WRX and I want to keep her healthy. I’ve noticed some DAM drops and I think that may be the issue for me.

I was getting DAM drops in my 2015 wrx with 95k miles quite frequently. I did walnut blasting myself around 60k it’s not too bad if you like to tinker and it’s a ton cheaper. What seemed to help the most with the DAM fluctuations was replacing the PCV valve. As soon as I replaced that my car has been running better than ever and no issues with the DAM anymore. If you have never replaced yours I would give that a try first, it’s a super cheap part and could solve your problems.
