    unless you are just out of things to do, i think there are better things to spend money on.. sure a intercooler cooler is nice... but the gain is minimal and the effects dont last long. for drag racing i can see it being somewhat worth it.. but then again it may be off set by the amount it weighs.

    you will gain about 15-20 hp, so ass high as 40hp like on an evo...i got one on my mr2 and it works good, i gained 24hp with it...but we all have our opinions...its not made to be run all the time anyways, so drag racing and dyno pulls is where you would be using the spray...cooler air is always better

    I've got one and you guys are right "looks cool, does nothing"-maybe 5hp, it helps out alot with heat soaked charge air..you can run consistant numbers rather than power falling off after heat builds..soo in a drag app..its worth it. Now guys making 45 HP with intercooler kit...it was a proven fact at DYNOLAB that the over spray can and will get sucked into the CAI..creating big gains because of course its almost the same as spraying your intake...DANGEROUS ,when unoticed, esp with a turbo'd car!!!

    A couple of WRX guys have noticed their cars running very lean when using Ntercooler setups.

    Spend the money on alky or meth injection instead. It's like running race gas every day.

    then they were to lean to begin with. cooling air makes it more dense, hence it fucks with your a/f ratio a LITTLE bit, not enough to run dangerously lean..

    guys, i hate to point this out but alky or meth injection is just like nitrous injection, it requires a tank, and it is only a temporary soloution to make a little more power. yes, i know water injection and such can make HUGE short term gains. this intercooler sprayer is the same thing.
