With all this recent time off and basically house bound I've been reading a lot (mainly crap ?) .
Yesterday was reading about cooling your intercooler. Some cars came with a spray system from factory , STI's were one car and others.
Then came across a vw site where some guys that have deleted the rear wiper and used the hose going from the water bottle , put some spray jets on the hose and around the fmic . Then a flick on the stalk as if to wash the rear window it sprays the intercooler.
There is some testing that I watched and yes it does actually bring the temperature down , and it's quite an easy cheap set-up to do .
I deleted my rear wiper a while ago.....
...... so in theory take the hose off the washer bottle going to the rear wiper , connect another washer hose up and some jets , route it around the intercooler then flick the stalk and it'll spray , easy ? .
I've never heard of this till yesterday, anyone done this ?
Minimal gain probably, but for a few $s might be worth a shot.
As the title says , any turbocharged car .
