When replacing turbos, do you re-use oil-contaminated intake piping?
I've started taking my car apart, and though the engine is still in, I have noticed oil in pretty much all of the intake piping, including intercoolers. It seems to be on both sides (with more on one side), although only 1 turbo was blown.
Can I reuse these "contaminated" components? If so, how do I clean them? I'm thinking carburetor fluid (the kind in a spray can).
Please share your experiences.

yeah, degreaser then brake clean.........
just be 110% sure they're clean before you put them back in...you don't want anything to get back in the intake tract and take out another turbo
