The pipes are simple, just un plug both ends and spray some aerosol brake cleaner into them.
Remove the MAP to clean it and just spray some in and then leave it to drain and dry out for 20 minutes.
To clean the wastegate solenoid, you need to connect the green and black diagnostic plugs, under the dash next to the steering column, turn ignition on and then spray loads of it into the pipe that goes from the turbo to the solenoid. The plugs put the ECU into a valve cycling mode and it pumps the cleaner through.
Don't get this stuff on your hands as it will dissolve the oils in your skin too!!
