Default Intercooler flush

Is there an Intercooler flush i can use?
I have now fitted my Oil catch tank, so want to flush out all the oil from the intercoolet and the boost pipes aswell.

Not too sure but when mine went pop last year, the Garage laid my IC on it's side/upside down etc till all the oil drained out.

Hope this helps.

I did the same, but I used a little petrol first and gave it a good shake to get most of it out. Make sure you rise it put properly after though.

Now that sounds more like it, ill get some petrol, give it a good swish around
Drain it, fill it back up and leave it over night to soak.
Ill do this on a monday, and leave it off the car to air untill the friday (It has pleanty of time to evaporate)

When you did yours, did you remove all the pipes, and clean them seprate?
