    I got a spt intake w/heat shield for my 04 sti. Installed it and reset ecu. Car starts and idle fine. The only problem I have with it is everytime I take the car to redline my i/c spray light flashes on then turns off when I let off. Does this happen to anyone who has a spt intake on? What cause the i/c spray light to come on?

    check the area around the filter, it could be rubbing on a relay or plug causing a short

    That's odd, almost sounds like the jdm i/c spray switch is on your car....

    The only thing that switch does is keep the contacts closed. The light in the dash is a low fluid level light... unless there's something I don't know?

    The jdm switch can be set to spray at certain rpm's, not sure if the light flashes or not. Just a thought...

    Not by itself. You need to have a boost pressure switch in the mix, too. I'm currently running a setup like this. No light but works great!

    Yeah. I got the IC switch from them, boost switch from ebay. The JDM switch alone just keeps the contacts closed, like and on/off switch.

    Stock:

    Using JDM switch and boost pressure switch:

    You can also simply replace the stock switch with the JDM version above. Same effect but you don't retain the spray on demand use.

    I love it. It helped quite a bit in the summer months. I've got mine set to turn on around 7PSI so I tend to go through a tank of water every week. Sometimes more.

    Setup was easy, too. You can do it on the cheap with any 2-way switch if you don't want to get the JDM.

    Just out of curiosity, what does your intercooler look like? Any hard water build up?

    I only fill with distilled or deionized so there's no worries about that.
