I cleaned mine with carb and choke cleaner, off the car of course. I let it sit for about an hour before I even put it back on, on a nice sunny day. Haven't had a problem yet.

You can use brake cleaner, maf cleaner, anything volatile like that. It will quickly take the oil out of the TB and dry fast. If you are unsure, wash it out with water when you are done, dont soak it in a bucket or some **** but a little soap and water won't hurt.

Take it off spray the t/b and only use a damp cloth on the inlet and let it dry...no harm whatsoever. You use carb/tb cleaner. Don't spray into the supercharger.

Yah, I think theyre referring to if you were going to try to clean the TB without removing it, because then you stand a good chance of getting it in the supercharger. Like everyone else said just pull it off and clean it all you want...youll be fine.
