There's probably a diy on here. I forgot where I found it. Remember to get a gasket for it as well. Anyway, here's what I did to clean it after removal:

Initially clean it with CRC Throttle Body Cleaner (or similar product). Dry it, then use Seafoam Deep Creep.

You should also check your disa gasket, intake boots, icv valve & icv gasket while you're doing the tb.
