Again with intercooler sprayers, what does yours spray (water probaly) or do you got some weird concoction. I think a nice fan would work nicely but if you on the highway the air flow is most effective, Being intercoolers are designed to work air metal to air. I think you should remove it to save weight. Not warter or ice or hydrogen or nitrus oxide or anything else but I'm a new to turbos soo don't listen to me.

i used it at the track on 1 pass. i always set it to auto. what i could do is maby remount it in the trunk. we do need some weight back there to help out. lol. its out now so it will probly stay out. lol

I was wondering what the auto did... does it just wait for a certain engine temp or rpm load? I just thought it was cool Which reservoir powers it anyways? Should I just keep dumping windshield wiper fluid in both? I never got the manual with my car.

Thanks!
