I have used wooden popsickel sticks/tung depressors to scoup it out while holding the nozzle of a shop vac on the intake port to pull the dust and loose pieces out. You will never get it all.....some of it will fall back in but it does not seem to phase the engine. The carbon deposit that accumulates in the intake manifold is only a fraction of the stuff that blows into the engine. Blame the EGR system........
Bought some handy disposable scrapers at Ace Hardware the last time I did the job ($1.80)....they worked great too!
