It's peeling the foil off the hot-side I/C tube. It makes your engine bay look neater and gives your turbo a little more whistle.

yep, just a bit more whistle is all, and yes it does also make the engine compartment look a bit cleaner as well.

What other posters said plus you never know what you might find under the foil. Check this thread. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/7...d-ic-tube.html

I soaked some towels in WD-40 (from a large jug) and wrapped the tube in the towels. About every 30 minutes I re-soaked the towels. After about 2 hours I took a drill with wire wheel and off came the glue. I had pulled the foil off prior to that with pliers. I didn't think it was too bad of a job...just have to let the WD-40 do its magic.

I found that DK worked really well. What I don't have is any increased whistle. In fact I don't really have ANY whistle. I even cranked it up with the tube off and no whistle? But the turbo seems to be working properly otherwise. Even blowed off a boot that I er...um.....uuggh....forgot to properly tighten. Danged ole Bud Light.

It's real thick adhesive remover. You can gob it on there and let it set. The thread I linked to above tells you all about it. Lowes has it, but Home Depot didn't (at least last year when I did mine).
