Brake clean then water

yup thats what I used and it cleaned it out great. Is it possible to feel more response after cleaning the intercooler? It felt like it did when I put it back on the car. Maybe its just a mental thing :P

brakekleen and that's it.


water won't completely dry out as there are so many gaps and grooves and they wont all evaporate out properly.

[Bugsly17]

In dry weather it will, let it sit for a few days

Or put it in the oven/use a hair dryer to evaporate the water.
Brakeclean is best, plus it's combustible

Take it out, use any kind of degreaser and don't be chinsy, i find if you use a scotchpad and scuff everything first before you apply it bites into it really well. then pressure wash it really good.

Manly intercoolers don't fit in ovens sadly

3 cans of brake clean + 2 looinies for powerwashing the crap out of it + hang it over a wood stove = pure win and great satisfaction.....make sure to polish to while its nice and easy to get at!
