I've got a Pipercross induction kit myself, I cleaned mine by...

Whip it off the car.
Spray it with filter cleaner (if you've got any, if not, not sure what else would work...).
Leave it for a few minutes (or however long the cleaner stuff says to).
Rinse it thoroughly from the inside with running water until it runs clear - also find it helps to rub the outside with your hand to loosen the dirt out a bit.
Leave it to dry naturally.
Stick it back on.

It might work just as well without any cleaner, but take longer to run clean.

Bugger, knew I forgot something! Yes, once it's dry, re-oil it and then stick it back on. Or you can re-oil it once it's back on, bit that gets a bit tricky on the underside, obviously.
