Take out all of that..."stuff" and the turbo might actually move your car some ;)


There is always a benefit, but the question is...do you need it.

I've been told that there are some gains to spraying the intercooler, but not enough to make it worth the money. Best to just use the bottles for a wet kit and call it a day.

I got both bottle and bracket with the both kits for $200 from a prostreet guy that retired from racing. I just couldnt pass up the deal. thats two complete kits 100 a piece.so since I have them I thought I'd try to figure out a way to use them.

josh was tooling with the idea of attaching the windshield sprayers to the top of the intercooler and just spritzing water onto the i/c. should work just about the same.

id be woried that the constant Freezing / Thawing of the plastic piece would eventually crack it, OR under pressure it will blow it to pieces :P


you can get almost the same result from Methanol injection into the intake to cool the charge. (Supercharger guys love this stuff)
its cheeper not under pressure and easy to fit

wow! shit i miss read that

ok i read it as using windshield sprayers in a Cryo system!
wow i was way off

sorry disregard the part about stuff blowing up then

/sigh
sorry


so yes the windshield sprayers with water or alchol would be a cheaper alternative and would yield good results
