Suprab1 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) I have the front of the Evo at the moment & when i took off the intercooler i noticed the pipes are full of gunk. Will i be best to strip all the pipes off back to the throttle body & clean out with brake cleaner? I know the car is 9 year old now but is this normal?

Swampy442 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Looks like oil, and depending on how long the pipes have been on and how the breather is set up, it might just have accumulated over the years. Best to clean all the pipes and intercooler out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 A good degreaser, white spirit, turps etc. Is the car standard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprab1 Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 More or less, it just has a cat back, HKS induction kit, Mishimoto rad & HKS ssqv bov. I suppose petrol will clean it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
