Default cleaning TB and MAF with CRC

so i'm in the middle of cleaning my TB and MAF when i finally read the direction and it said don't use it on "supercharger" is it too late for that? i remove the TB from the car and i doomed? also when i remove the TB i notice a pool of oil on the bottom of my supercharger where the TB was connected. how do i go about cleaning this? or should i clean it?

here is a pic

I really doubt u will experience any adverse effects after having used that cleaner on ur throttle body or MAF.

Also about the oil, I dont know everything about a supercharger system, but I know on a naturally aspirated system that oil inside the throttle body and film inside the intake is a common thing. This is from the vent line coming from the valve cover (2005-2014). Before i got an oil separator to keep oil out of these places, i would take a couple paper towels and simply wipe the inside clean. also, I would gently move the throttle body blades so i could reach in. (ended up removing throttle body to clean more effectively).

So if i were u, i would get an oil separator. But in the mean time i would take a paper towel or two and gently clean the inside and wipe the oil up.

I agree with cema except I guess on my shelby, I'd get paranoid about the paper towel fibers. I thought microfiber were lint free and would leave no trace, so I'd sacrifice one of those to wipe out that oil from the elbow on the SC. Definitely agree with cema on the oil separator too, especially after seeing your pics. Catch can would take care of that. If it were my pickup or wifes explorer, break out the brawny though!
