There is evidence that MB has solved the carbon issue by having the injection pulse while the intake valves are open and it actually sprays on the back of the open valves. There is no evidence of carbon problems on this engine that I have been able to find. Also, full throttle power is still great! It hasn't seem to lose any power through this whole thing.
