How much crap can be in an air to air intercooler?

Unbolt it, fill it with soap and water, swish it around, rinse it out, let it dry.

If you love your car, you should be able to un-bolt it and eat from it. J/K. I think cleaner means no build-up so theres no restriction.

my roomate who did his unbolted it, and pour mineral spirits into it, really anything that will eat the dirt and not stick to the medal, pour it in, let it sit, wash it out..and watch the black diesease come gushing out, pretty nasty crap considering how clean you think it might be
