Nothing needed as everything is post-filter. I suppose a fellow could get in there and try to blow compressed air backwards, but 1000cfm now and then seems to do the trick as I've never seen a dirty one!

I think I didn’t say that right. I was concerned about the inter cooler bricks getting gummed up and not getting good air flow thru them.

Here was mine at 29k I would say about 20 percent plugged. That is reason for the MMS valve to keep them clean.
doing my other car now at 5k it should look better. The new blower going on will stay clean.
