How about just using gasoline and a soft brush? The UEGO sensor is gasoline safe. Plus gasoline cleans soot and grime off stuff pretty well. Air dry that sucker afterwards.

^^hey Joe, off topic but that Tial you sold didn't clear the hood (not your fault). I ended up having a custom extension pipe made to attach to the TMIC and relocate the BOV closer to the battery.

Too much gas will also ruin it. When I flooded my motor with gas the O2 sensor fail after I had all the gas out of the motor. That's y I had to replace it. Jess if u need I can get u a price from my friend.

I know TiAL Sport made it fit on the TMIC, not sure how though. An extension pipe will work fine. As long as the boost gets out.

If it was driving with flooded gas, it sounds like the O2 failed because the excessive unburned fuel was being ignited in your downpipe after the turbo, resulting in high EGTs and overheating the sensor. Cleaning it with fuel never hurted mine.
