Default Headlight washers for IC Cooling?

Has anyone ever retrofitted the headlight washers for use on the intercooler? Just spraying a shot of liquid at the intercooler whenver oh say 15psi is reached? or maybe full throttle?

I know its a cheap idea.. But im just curious..

Snow performance water injection is something I have on another turbo car of mine, but im just curious on your guys' idea's..


Just throwing an idea out..

My buddy did that for his TT. Works pretty well. Although he just used a PVC valve to regulate when it sprays.

Here is a good read if you want to build an IC spray kit.

I've done it by hooking up another reservoir only when I was track racing. On a day to day basis I don't think the intercooler gets hot enough unless you are running some big turbos. I still do not know how much airflows the audis have, but on all my mitsubishi's it was not needed until I got a much larger turbo and was making continual drag runs. Heck, even on my Evo it's supposed to have a manual and automatic mode. With a lot of harder driving in the summer I can't get the automatic one to go off, guess it never gets hot enough.
