Default Intake Cleaner

The gt40 i picked up has some pretty heavy carbon build up inside. Aside from having a shop dip it( if possible ), what would be good ways to clean this thoroughly.

I cant complain, only cost me 175 for U&L.

wtf.....torture him.. toothbrush and scrubbing sucks (but works)...hops #9 bore cleaner removes carbon build up bathe it in the stuff, and bam a little hot soapy water to rinse it and it should clear that stuff up
