It cools the intercooler down so it's like running in a colder weather. It adds power when it's hot air being sucked in. You will notice in the winter time that the engine runs a lot better than during the summer. This is because of the cooler air flowing through the intercooler. I notice a HUGE difference when our weather changes here in Arizona. We go from the 40s and 50s to 110. Adding the spray will probably take it down to running like we were in 80-90s. 110 robs the engine of a LOT of power.

So How do you connect it up? Do you need a separate part or something? *confused*

You can connect it to your rear windshield washer bottle using a rubber hose just like the one already connected to the rear wiper. You then disconnect the wiper on the rear window. Now when you want to spay the intercooler you twist the windshield wiper **** for the rear washer like you were going to use the rear washer. It then sprays the intercooler down. Or you can mount another bottle somewhere with a motor and switch and rubber hose. I'm going to use the rear washer bottle. I've used the rear sprayer and washer once since I've owned the car. The intercooler sprayer I will use several times a day during the summer.

Nice! Thanks for clarifying that up for me.
I'm going to check to see if alta still makes that type or anyone else.
Let's motor on my friends!
