Default DIT

When I give my Levorg some 'welly' I sometimes get large plumes of black smoke. Further investigations show that the FA20E DIT engines have carbon build up that require the inlet to be cleaned according to the Service Bulletin 9-74-21

This video shows a Subaru Maintenance kit with the following items required, SOA868V9431, SOA868V9430, SOA868v9166. Is there anything in the UK similar to this available?
