...for obvious reasons.
The rule of thumb with them is to never use a highly pressurized water stream like you'd find at a "DIY Car Wash" or from a pressure washer at home, because the pressure can get past gaskets, potentially ruining them.
Although I've never washed any of my car's engines, I'd say the same rule would apply. For my bikes, I use foaming engine degreaser and a nylon brush on any problem areas.
I don't see why the same shouldn't apply to a car's engine, just avoid a high pressure spray. I like Abe's idea of running the engine as you hose it off, listening for any bogging down, while obviously avoiding the air intake area completely (while it's running).
The nose-piece under my supercharger has a small grime spot, so I'll be trying this myself soon. Good luck with yours, just take your time, and be careful.
