Just like the one in the Evo's. Has anyone done it to their ride? I have a buddy that did it to his from the window washer reservoir since he wasnt using it due to the cf hood. Thinking of doing it myself. What are your opinions on this?

I had it for my fmic. But I pushed 23 pounds of boost and did high speed runs on the dry lake beds out here. It did help control temps a little with the desert heat, and it was so easy, who cares

I use the ERL system squirts directly in the throttle body and it works great with 35psi.

The windshield washer is not a good idea. 1st the washer tank is in the engine bay and that means it will be warm water you are spraying in. And you will want a one way to be installed and if you are using anything other then watter and a small amount of alcohol the one way valve would make the pump work pretty hard and you could damage the pump causing it to leak.

Do it right if you are going to do it.
there are other kits available too but this is mine.

Most people do water injection now. Its much more effective and the Snow Performance kit brought the price down to a more reasonable level.

Water sprayers work but not nearly as well and I'm not sure you can't use it at the tracks... you're generally not allowed to leak fluids onto the track surface.
