intercooler stuck with bugs/debris?

Hi All,

Just wondering after a few years, bugs and such get stuck in the intercooler vents. Will this be an issue causing no air to be passed?

Saw my older 2013 and has a TON of stuff in it, could we somehow clean it without removing bumper and all?

Thanks

Ideally you want to flush out with water from engine side out to front of car, but removing fender liners is crazy.
A citrus cleaner like P21 Total Car Wash is good, spray onto front of radiator let sit a rinse off with a low pressure flow, a few applications over a couple of washes should help.
Bugs aren't an issue like if a plastic bag got wedged in there.
