Intake Valve Cleaning?

Problem

Has anyone had intake valve cleaning done such as walnut blasting? Does the dealerships offer this? If so, how much do they charge?
Also been reading about the CRC GI intake valve cleaner spray. Seeing mixed thoughts on this. Some say it works and some say it’s not a good idea as it could damage turbo. Thoughts?
I’m close to 90,000 on my 2015 Escape 2.0. Running good but wondering if this is something I should look into doing since coming up on 100k.

thanks!

According to FordTechMakuloco, walnut blasting the intake valves does work. I am not sure if you would be better off with a dealership or an independent shop to do this. I have no ideal about the CRC intake valve cleaner spray so I will let others chime in.

Best of luck with this. Let us know how it worked out.
