I have been thinking about this, this last week, ws thinking about using the pipe from the rear jet as i don't have a rear wiper. Was wondering if it was worth it, i know Laurence off here used to do it.

Tell that to the fellas at Subaru who fitted the cold air jets onto the top spec models.

The heat transfer between a solid and a gas is not as good as the transfer between a solid and a liquid or a liquid and a gas..
Its much the same principal as sweat

Xsara ones are good, Kirsty has a set fitted to the 10silly. Throw a fair amount of water onto the screen as well!

IMHO. No. Unless your a big powered, anti-lagging, running on full boost constantly monster of a car.

Its worth doing on any turbo car with an I/C, every 1 degree increase in inlet temperatures equates to a loss of about 1bhp.

So when driving around your saying that the person should be constantly pressing the botton to spray the intercooler to keep it cooler? In the real world I can't see it being worth while on any Road going car.

I garantee, if you went to all that effort you wouldn't notice a blind bit of water by spraying abit of water on your FMIC. Better off getting a mate to get out and spit it on.

no, too much wheelspin 
cars go faster in the cold though so i guess it could work on a baking hot summers day. but how many of those do we get in the UK? probably 10-15 at the most each year.

Nope, if you are driving at a constant speed its not a problem as heat soak isnt an issue. But if you having been driving slow or sat say at a red-light that little bit of water on your I/C will make a big difference.
