Default another odd question..cleaning the iacv...no carb cleaner?

i picked up a can of carb/throttle body cleaner to clean my iacv. anyway, on the back of the can it says "do not use on turbocharged or diesel cars".

can anyone justify this?

anything else i can use? brake clean? simple green?

i always use brake cleaner, never hurt anything... take out the rubber gasket cause the chemicals are known to make rubber swell up...other then that u should be good.....
