FL pulled out turbo to port WG and now i have some ?????

Ok, I pulled out my turbo so that I can port the WG. Ater getting the turbo out (which is a pain in the ***) i figured id go ahead and clean up that side of the engine bay. Its not horrible looking but im pretty particular about things like that. There is some grease build up from the past 22 years of driving. I want to clean all that up and make it shiny as possible without pulling the motor and all that out. What can i use? degreaser and wire brush?any kind of detergents that work great? thanks ill post pics as soon as possible. Im also wanting to clean up the turbo as well make it shiny any dos and donts on that? thanks again.

I've had really good luck with the industrial-strength Simple Green, as well as Purple Power. Dilute appropriately and rinse well when done. Just watch out for anything that's incompatible with aluminum or painted surfaces...
