seafoam in an R56

I think I'm up to speed on DI & carbon build up in the N14 engine. I am a big believer in seafoam and have used it on the mini with some but not great results. I'm thinking the seafroam needs gas washing over the valves as in multi port FI to do its thing and get the best results.

So my question is, after sucking all the seafoam into the intake manifold and letting it sit, what would happen if I started the car but fed some gas into the PCV vacuum hose to help wash off the gunk?

Seafoam went in so I think I'm far away from hydrolock. Would it just run rich? My goal is not to cause a catastrophic explosion.

I also read something about gunk damaging the impeller ob exhaust but I feel the chance of that is remote.

Also, is there another entry point into the intake manifold besides through the PCV hose & turbo?

You are supposed to put this stuff in downstrean of the throttle body, maybe I am, not sure.

Thanks
