Just a thought for further development, but has anyone thought of installing a pair of windshield washer nozzles inside the lower front fascia that point inward and down toward the intercooler?

Using an aftermarket windshield washer pump and a reservoir with Distilled Water, this may be a way to keep the intercooler working more efficiently. If the idea works, it could be tied to WOT or boost level or a check valve that triggers a switch when vacuum turns to boost or (your idea here)....

Distilled Water would be key, as sulphur content (and probably other mineral/chemical content) is death to aluminum cooling fins. Ask anyone who services HVAC units around a source of Sulphur water....

That's an interesting idea. It would have to be a really fine mist to capitalize on evaporation to aid in cooling and to prevent the water from dripping on the track, a big no-no I'm sure. Of course, if the humidity is high then the effect would be reduced significantly. Maybe you could devise a way to chill the water to further enhance the effect. Of course, then, the tank or holding reservoir would have to be mounted somewhere other than under the hood, complicating the delivery system.

I used a similar type setup many years ago to deliver bleach to the rear slicks of my Hemi Road Runner before it became common practice for the track to furnish water for burnouts. Back then, if you had a crew you could use bleach or water for burnouts, but with no crew, you were out of luck. Thus, I made this system for myself.
