I suppose you could use the rear windshield washer bottle, just route a new hose up to the hose you unplug from the ic bottle(and wires if you want auto mode, otherwise hit the stalk for ic water spray). that would be the cleanest install.
on the other hand I mounted the stock ic bottle in the trunck, for a WI system, looks crummy but suits my needs.

the real option is to dump the ic sprayer altogether, that dog don't hunt

Yeah I am not sure......I don't feel a difference in auto or manual. I used to before I got a new clutch....I don't know what went wrong and right with that. Before the clutch I would boost around 10 psi with out the auto, and with the auto on I would boost 19-20. Now I have a MBC so i guess it doesn't really matter that I have auto or not. I will try to remove bumper again today.....and see whats up.

I think it's all in your head man. It may help some with a stock IC and extreme heat but I haven't seen any real data on this...

I removed mine

the ic sprayer has NOTHING to do with the boost. unless an installer used that switch to switch between settings on an ebc. most unlikely.

yeah I did it.......I just ran vacuum hose to the trunnk and rewired it so it would reach......very clean and I managed to run a drain tube about6-7 inchs round from the front bumper trhough up where the ic bottle used to be......now Im getting more colder air to the filter. It looks awesome.
