i just pulled off my Y8 IM to clean it, but i didn't put much though into how haha... the TB's still attached but that's gonna come off, can i just hose it out and let it sit to dry??? i don't have brakleen or the money to buy some, i'm pretty much limited to half a can of gunk, a water hose and some rags... thanks guys haha.

spray the inside with Gunk (remove sensors from intake mani first) let it sit for about 5-10 mintues and hose it out and let to dry.

make sure you remove the sensors like yoffer said. and be sure the IM and throttle body are BONE DRY before you reassemble it

cool... is there a way to dry it faster or do i just have to let it sit in front of a fan or something? thanks

yeah if you have access to compressed air you could use the rags to wipe it dry the best you can then blow off the rest with the air compressor or you could even try a hairdryer ..then let it sit over night to just to be safe. Remeber water is one of a combustion engines worst enemies.good luck man
