The Deepcreep is meant for only the throttle body and not the engine.

If you want to clean out your engine, the liquid form of Seafoam should be used (1/3 engine, 1/3 fuel, 1/3 through brake line).

Just make sure you have a tool that cut through pipes easily and the installation process should be no harder than plug & play.

you need to cut some rubber hosing, which you can use a scissor and a small metal pipe, which you can use a hacksaw. shouldnt take more than 30 min to an hr tops to install.

is it possible to damage your engine while cleaning the TB? like hydrolock or something like that?

Not sure about the TB one but the engine one you add to the booster line while it's running. Once you see a decent amount of smoke you take it down the road and run it very very very hard and if there is a lot of carbon build up it will look like a thick black smoke screen behind you i it's really bad you may need to do it a few times. Tried it on my Ford Exploder great stuff.

You must add seafoam carefully. If you dump a whole lot of it in, you can hydrolock your engine. If your engine is about to stall even with the throttle open more than 40% you are clearly adding too much at a time. The brake master cylinder line is the best way to do it. If you need to clean the TB, use Throttle Body cleaner (not carb cleaner) instead.

If you have an aftermarket intake, turbo kit, supercharger kit, it shouldn't take more than 2-5 minutes. If you have a factory intake you will need to cut the metal pipe down just a tad. If you use a pipe cutter it takes no time at all and can be done without removing the metal piece. If you use a hacksaw it will take a while longer.

The pipe cutters can be found at any hardware store or home depot for relatively cheap.
