TC-W3 Additive, Clean TB/MAF/EGR/IACV Before or After

I have been reading the TC-W3 thread and will start using it soon. I also am wanting to follow the sticky and clean my TB, MAF, EGR, and IACV. I understand that the TC-W3 oil helps clean out the engine system, so my question is whether it is better to clean the engine component before or after adding the TC-W3 oil (or does it not matter)?

I am curious to know in case cleaning all of the engine components, then adding the oil, if it will just dirty the engine components up again as it cleans out the inside of the engine.

Thanks!

IMO, it doesn't matter.

You should read the TC-W3 thread. It is just plain awesome.

I've had lots of experience w/ two-cycle engines. Most two-cycle engines use a 32-to-1 gasoline to oil ratio. 4 ounces of two-cycle engine oil with 1 gallon of gasoline. TC-W3 as a four-cycle fuel additive, is used at a ~650-to-1 gasoline to oil ratio. 1 ounce of two-cycle oil with 5 gallons of gasoline. TC-W3 oil is NOT thick at full strength, roughly the same consistency as ATF. FYI; TC-W3 works as claimed. Read the article/thread before making assumptions.
