19d... The intercooler sprayer tank holds the fluid for the intercooler sprayer that sprays the intercooler with the fluid inside the intercoolersprayer tank...

the intercooler is sprayed to lower the temp of the intercooler itself, kinda like when you are hot and pour water on your face. The intercooler is your face and the water is water. The button allows you to either spray it manually (MANUAL POSITION) or let the ecu spray it automatically (AUTOMATIC POSITION) I use windshield wiper fluid. It comes in a 1 gal bottle and convieniently enough, the sprayer holds 1 gal.

well you can fill it with water lol and it keeps the temperature cooler for your turbo which enables it to inject more fuel in the long run it helps cool temp for you turbo lets you use more fuel without bigger injectors pretty much its a lil mod.. my friend had one like that on his srt-4. it works

the intercooler doesnt need to be sprayed btw. you can choice not to its not going to "hurt" the turbo it just "helps" it can only help you so it is a wise choice.
