Update

Started to clean up the inlet side of things. very easy to do, when you've got access to a parafin wash, a large chemical cleaning washing machine type thing and a bench top wire wheel!

ICV before



and after




cleaned inlet plenum (inside too )





and shiny throttle body, can see all the nice CAD plating on the linkages aswell
