yeah ok il keep ya posted . the trigger will be a hobbs pressure switch that I got from ebay from the states for like $12 or sumthing , you set it to a boost level and it trigers when it hits that boost . so iv got a switch to activate that . the second switch will just turn it on and let it run . iv machined up a lil control pannel out of alloy that go's in the shelf under the radio . it has 2 switch's and 2 lights. one light will come on when ever the pump is on and the second one will come on when the tanks nearly empty. The pump is just a old elect water pump my day used in his race boat . all the lines and check valves and spreyers im useing air festo air push in fittings for work . I hope they work and hold water but will see its all fun and games . the nozles for now will just be garden watering ones I found in my garage. I just need a tank to mount in the tray . I found one on ebay with a level in it that holds 3.5ltrs il prob get that.

Great link HERE

Got some good info on this website, however I'm not forking out that much dosh for a controller! Cheap bastard I am and defeats the challenge.

You thought of combining with a temp sensor from the intercooler?

the pump I reckon is the most costly the rest can be made up very cheaply . thos boost pressure switchs are about $30 from usa on ebay I just looked dunno if you can find them in aus they might be cheaper.

only prob is trying to keep the water cool.

I seen some dodgy setup with washer bottles and sprayers. waste of time I recon.

how hot days are we talkin anyway.

Most intercoolers should be fine with 25-30 degree days.

I could be wrong but I thought it was the evaporation that cools the cooler down therefore temp if water irrelevant???
