intercooler cleaning
a couple of questions:
how often do you guys clean out your intercooler and how do you do it? when my engine blew they cleaned it out and got about 1 qt of oil out of it.. i didnt know you had to clean them. i can imagine that slowed me down quite a bit.
other question is how much of a power loss is expected when 2 of the 4 dp bolts are loose?
thanks.

If you want to clean out the ic, just get a bunch of carb cleaner in there, seal up the ic and shake it for a while. Then just hold it on it's end and it should get alot of that oil out.
