intercooler question simple short question...
how do YOU clean the bugs and junk out of your intercoolers? the collection of carcases on mine is rising and was hopin someone may have an easy way to do this without mangling the fins with a high pressure hose or brush...maybe spray them and let em soak and hose out from the reverse side with low pressure?

Condenser coil cleaner. It's heavy foaming cleaner that is used for cleaning home hvac systems. It will clean like new again. It isn't something u want to get on painted surfaces tho. Just spray on and let sit then wash out from reverse.
you could buy one of those new custom fab mesh screen coverups that would still allow for airflow, but also keep the insects out. i am going to leave mine bare though, and i will prob brush them off easily after some good bug remover spray and other items. itll be pretty bad when your IAT's drop because you have 3lbs of crickets and bees in your intercooler. be like an intercooled holocaust
Exactly! Use the purple or blue cleaner. I personally love the alky-clean brand but any foaming ALKALINE condenser coil cleaner will do. Please be careful with this stuff and do not spray it on surfaces you do not want to harm including your skin! Oh, and make sure its the acid free type...just alkaline. It foams so much and pushes dirt and bugs out plus shines your alumn right up. Good luck
