How to clean out the inside of intercooler?
Well, the previous owner of the turbo kit I bought; we installed the kit & he put a huge oil return line on it... & the line was crimped in the middle... which was letting oil pass the seals into the charge piping... & into the bottom of the intercooler (This lasted for about 5 minutes until we found the problem, fixed it & no more probs.). Anyhow, his car already blew up after 2 days & I have re-purchased the kit & there is still some oil in the bottom of the intercooler. Can I just use a garden hose & flush it out with tap water & let it dry out? Thanks.

You should know that oil and water do not mix.
Use some sort of solvent. Carb cleaner, brake parts cleaner, alcohol. Anything but plain water.
