Turbo Cleaning

What can I use to clean the exhust side of my turbo without taking the turbo apart? Will brake cleaner do it? I would like to gut the EBPV while I have things apart but I am having a hard time finding the plugs so any info on that would be
great. I want to install the non EBPV you can see in the link below.
Please let me know if any body ever had problems with this.

Thanks for the help.

The pedestal you linked won't fit your truck. there is some made for our trucks but it needs to be for 94.5 to 97 PSD. Also Not sure what you mean by cleaning your turbo. I don't really see any need to clean it. Break cleaner would work to remove some of the soot but thats all that should be in there.

My bad on the link. Thought it said 94.5. Well it looks like this busted up leaking all over the place son of a #$%!@ing place EBPV thing is going to turn into a major @#$%&ing project. If you know where I can get one for my truck please let me know. Thanks

Later.............

Even if it leaked or blew out it just goes down the drain (oil).

I like to use Heli coils, for me works better (stronger) than the original, and more if the original thread is aluminum and easy to use.

I was hoping to avoid the mod trip but it looks like I am not going to be able to by one.
Thanks
