Brian, et al., If your car has an O2 sensor, you just killed it. Bosch,
as well as VW/Audi, expressly state that no silicone be used
in/on/around the intake system as fatal O2 sensor damage will result.

I think this applies to silicone oils and sprays.  Cured silicone rubber is
relatively inert, so long as it isn't ingested into the engine.  Aren't the
performance turbo intake hoses sold by TAP silicone rubber?  Brian, et al,
you did wait for it to cure before you used it, didn't you?
