I carry ice water in my sprayer and I spray like crazy in between runs. That intercooler should be cool to the touch IMO. So, I go through a lot of water. I've heard Mini autocrossers say a loss as much as 10 HP when not properley cooled. I personally can't confirm numbers, but I can confirm slight time differences on same courses and driving when sprayed. Not huge time differences, but a tenth or two. Enough to win or loose top pax. After seeing team "Yellow Mini" 
with a pillowcase full of ice shoved under the bonnet before our runs at the Pro, I knew it worked.
