Any experience or tips on cleaning throttle body and manifold
I'm in the process of cleaning up after a failed turbo. Replacing misc items and cleaning the remainder. I took the throttle body and intake manifold off to clean and inspect the intake ports. Cleaned them a few years ago and they don't look too bad. However, when I pulled the air hose off the throttle body a bunch of oil dropped out. I suspect that came from the turbo. Last time I had the throttle body and intake off I just superficially cleaned all surfaces with a cloth rag. Now I'm wondering if a cleaning might be in order. I'm thinking Dawn liquid wouldn't hurt it. Thoughts appreciated.

I can't be the only one ever to take this part out. It's my second time and second time cleaning intake valves. Last time I had it out, I just wiped it with a soft cloth, but this time there was more oil. From the other thread I may consider a catch can in future mods. I'll take a bit of Dawn and water to it for now. I have a bunch of tubes still to degrease.
