Ready to race!
Yeah that is extremely excessive for some reason. My car was 86k when I first did my valves and they didn't look nearly that bad.
That's not that bad after 80k, mine were close to that. I'd be more concerned about all that dirt though, how did that get around the manifold? Do you park outside in a dusty area err?

I did this last night and am very impressed with the results. Engine is now super smooth and quiet, power and response are up. Mpg was better for this morning's commute. Quite happy. I used the 2 parts mineral spirits, 1 part naptha, 1 part fuel mix. Maybe $30 in materials. Car runs better than when I bought it at 38k (65k now). Think I am going to do this every other oil change now. Hope it helps someone else.
Happy boostin.
I realized today that catch cans will do very little to resolve this issue. I think the bigger problem is turbo blow by in this system
