"The explosion left a gaping whole in the wall and was reportedly so powerfull that parts of the door was blown off, shards of the bottle stuck in the ceiling.

The 20oz Bottle fits perfect in the glove box. And unlike most intercooler sprayers this one sprays the whole intercooler. I put the soda can in the pics for size reference.
I am going to run some tests and trials with some temp sensors, before and after intercooler. I think I will get some good results. I will take some more pics with it installed, and a quick video of it working.
I only plan on using it at the track. The charge in the bottle lasts a pretty long time.
All the parts cost me about 60 dollars.
Alot better than spending 400 dollars for a small aftermarket sprayer.
Enjoy.
Maybe I do have too much time on my hands.

Oh, and keep in mind that the state of CO2 exiting the bottle is determined by the position of the bottle and the type of valve that is built into the bottle. When it is upside down, you may get straight liquid, which is VERY cold. Conversely, you may position it where you get straight vapor, which is not as cold. (but still cold) The liquid draw will empty the bottle much quicker than the vapor draw. Either way, the bottle will get cold and possibly frost over during this process, so make sure there is nothing in your glovebox that can't take freezing or moisture.

Then it vented for 2 minutes and you couldn't touch the bottle, or anything around it until all of the frost melted off. A full 20oz CO2 bottle has nearly the energy potential of a stick of dynamite. Without that burst disk, it will explode violently. Find a video of someone shooting one and imagine that inside your car. It could easily kill you.

And that is not where the gas is drained before a refill, we just let it out of the main valve. It's much simpler, and a bigger opening for faster flow/transfer.
