I think I would be looking at map pipe or inlet gaskets next. Possibly the intercooler itself as RRDT suggested.

Map pipe cleaned and ok, inlet gaskets replaced. As I've said in previous post power back and now a lot quieter after running cleaner through turbo

Spray it in with the engine running?
A squirt every , say, 30secs or so?

Thats correct and don't squirt for more than 1 second at a time

Never thought of that. Bit surprised it did anything as it has enough oil going through it.

May be a sticking wastegate and the cleaner cleared the gunge out

I have got a turbo in bits on the bench, it's surprising how much gunge there is on the intake side.
