Didnt know if this should go here or in the turbo forum. Mods feel free to move it as you wish.
My FMIC gets covered in bugs and all kinds of crap and i find it difficult trying to keep it clean because everything is stuck inside the grooves and chambers. More so than the bumper. I think its because bugs and stuff stick easier to it where as when a bug or something hits the bumper, it just bounces off. laugh.gif
If I could a power washer attachment for my hose and sprayed the intercooler with a jet stream of water, will that hurt it any? Right now I find myself on the ground reaching in through the bumper and trying to clean it with my wash mit. Its a huge pain in the ass. So Im all ears and open to suggestions. smile.gif Thanks everyone.
