Default Cleaning out the Intercooler

Hi all,

I still have some oil residue in the I/C and hoses from my recent overfill. I plan on taking these off to clean the oil out, and I'm wondering how the I/C can be cleaned, other than simply wiping as much out with a rag from the inlets and outlet as possible.

Thanks all,

I also purchased one gallon cans of isopropol alcohol. Just pour it in and shake and dump. over and over again. Then I washed it out with a hose and used compressed air to dry it out. Still you have to let it sit with one of the tubes up and one down, for a day or two to let all of the water and oil out.
