i've done it. not really going to help much since our pcv valve and EGR kicks a ton of shit into it right after. I mean if its a piece of mind or you want to clean the EGR while you're in there go ahead. I did it when i initially vented the pcv to atmosphere and took out the vtcs flaps. It's kind of tricky tho because of the small space and length. best bet would be a gun cleaning kit, or some kind of rod with a paper towel tied on the end. just make sure to retrieve all the bits that tear off
