I think Prestone makes some that's a yellowish, greenish color. I'm not 100% sure it's Prestone but I know somebody makes some that color cuz I've used it before.

I've used windshield washer fluid (the kind with methyl alcohol), and I've also used a 50/50 mix of distilled water and rubbing alcohol

dont think that there is much power to be gained off the sprayer, but rather to ensure that after a day of hot lapping at the track that your power will remain consistant. I pack mine full of ice too

Yup! Stupid idea if you ask me, however.

+1. I believe this is one of the reasons it was not available in the IX models.

Stock intercooler sprayer works best with distiller water. It's about $1/gal at Walmart.
