    I'm using a normally closed boost pressure switch set to 7lbs of boost. Once it hits that the sprayer stays on until boost pressure drops below 7lbs. It was good for a degree or two of timing in the hot months!

    This is on a STi with a JDM spray switch.

    That's cool - just figured it would be a fun little, somewhat inexepsive, mod to throw on there at some point, but before that I should probably get going on a downpipe!

    I kinda still have my crazy 65psi seetup in my car, and it works damn good if you do it right. There is way to many things going on to make it effective. So if you think that just dumping water on the ic is going to help, look at something different.

    You want the finest mist you can get. You want the ic to be cool BEFORE you presurize it (so before boost onset). You want it to pulse the water on and off. You don't want to much water, or it becomes in effective.
