Only thing ive ever heard people doing, I havnt done it myself... But they clean there intercooler with gasoline... Maybe someone else has done this around here, but thats the only thing ive heard it being cleaned with..

No, but for cleaning, the grade does not matter. Even if the gas didn't evaporate and it found it's way into the intake, that tiny amount won't hurt, so, any grade will work.
