When I swap out the coils, I'll take the TB completely off, and clean up the rest of the buildup I couldn't get to with it on the car.

Catch cans are highly recommended. There's a bad habit of that oil getting into the LIM and sticking the SSV valves. Also, the K&N drop in filter has been found to not filter well enough. People have found sand in their engines. For the whole 1HP that it's been proven to give on the dyno, it's just not worth the risk over the factory filter.
