Alright guys, I've had my intercooler off replacing the radiator, it's not excessively dirty but while it's off I might as well clean it out. What do you guys recommend to use?

I had to do mine about 6 times the week before last (turbo oil issue)

First time, I used petrol, and then got worried about it all being clear. Then I pressure washed the inside. I know petrol and water aren't soluble, but enough water washes out most stuff, and then you can just shake dry and refit (it'll dry so quickly in use, and, so long as its not dripping wet, I can't see there being any issue)
