Default Intercooler spray? NX n-ter cooler mister

Has anyone tried using Nitrous Express's Nter Cooler mister system. I think it would be pretty fun to rig up a n20 or c02 mist system. No doubt that performance would be improved but would it be worth the trouble or should i just spend the cash and go rs4 or apr intercoolers? thanks

Default I've seen them in person and my friend used to have one on his front mount....are you

sure it will fit our tiny side mounts? They are made for larger front mounts and the bar is rather long. I'm not aware that they make different sizes either.

I think you'd be better off saving money and getting water sprayers instead...add some alcohol to it and you're good.

Default I think you're confused about what they're talking about. IC spraying is not W/I. (m)

And W/I doesn't apply until after the turbos anyway.

Default Yes, sprayed in the intake track right?

He asked about IC misters which spray the face face of the IC's... where does the airflow go after it passes throught the IC's?

Past the engine bay, under the car....where ever...that's not where I want any alcohol product spraying. Spray alcohol on a hot turbo??

Default Ok, perhaps you could clarify why spraying alcohol upstream of hot turbos is bad (m)

How do you figure it is upstream? By the time the air reaches the IC's it is well past the turbos. Or do you mean that the IC's being located further forward in the engine compartment than the turbos are upstream of them. How is spraying an alcohol mixture on the intercooler going to be bad for the turbos? I don't understand how your statement makes sense in context with the prior posts.
