Just had the same problem, I was told blow out with an airline but due to the rough surface inside the inlet there was loads of crap left. Ended up using carb cleaner and a rag, poking the rag down with a screwdriver from the throttle body hole, then turning over and doing the same from the inlet holes. Took about an hour and a whole can of carb cleaner to do it.
