IC Sprayer

Ok Being a proud owner Of a 06 Evo I am Robbed of the longed for Intercooler Sprayer, but I got an Idea. If I Get some (2) Vaccum selonoids and like 2 or 3 sprayer nozzels, i can use some relays and a button to close one seloniod and open the other, and turn the washer pump on at the same time, rerouting the would be washer fluid to the FMIC. And instead of filling the washer fluid bottle with Washer fluid i will just use some alcohol and water probaly like 7:3 ratio. But Can some with an Evo 8 take some pics of what they can see including the Button. If i am wrong about 8s having ic sprayers please correct me. Any Suggestions? Requests for A drawing of plans?

Boost control Selonoid Are Expensive all you need is an on off Style Selonoid, so it realy isnt a selonoid it kinda switch. But Selonoid sounds cooler

Boost Control Solenoid, Yeah I think Just go find some in a Junk Yard. Maybe if the guy at the Counter is Dumb he won't charge much. Every Car has an EGR Valve, so most cars have These Vacuum solenoid valves or VSV. Especialy Toyotas, they got a **** load of VSV's. I like the Denso Style VSV, it works great too.

Anyone Know where i can find Solenoids on the Net, ive been searching and there all like 30 bucks. I think Junk yard is the best bet.

or some random Toyota.
Hmm i guess some customers wont miss their TVIS opening anymore.

I know that Washer fluid is Water and alcohol, actual some other Surgary substance too, but i will make your Intercooler turn a little blue and leave blue marks on your bumber. So I like a nice mix of 72% Isopropyl alcohol.

Does anyone here have an Evo With An IC sprayer, didn't the Evo 8 come with IC sprayers?

Why do you want it? I'm pretty sure it won't help your car perform any better. Unless it was a super hot day in stop and go traffic. But besides that 99% of the time it's not needed.
