take off ya grill and trek down to your local car wash ( lance type ) and blast it out . The fins are thicker than the rad ones so can take the the water pressure , but dont get too close or blast from an angle and you'll be fine 
.
( been cleaning out rads and ICs this way for 18 yrs and never bent or damaged one yet )
Or do you mean inside ? ---- in that case the parts washer and shed loads of water to flush it out after is fine - just get all the water out after .

Cools down the air that has been heated up by compression of the turbo - cooler air = more dense = better burn
