re-routing the washer fluid line from the inner passenger fender to the front bumper would take about 30 minutes. All you would need is some nozzles to aim at the FMIC. Just pull the stalk as if you were squirting your windows, doesn't get much easier and cheaper than that (plus you don't have to wire in other parts).

The only way you will get 50hp from those kits is if the nitrous happens to get sucked up by the intake.

I suggest only distilled water be used for spraying your intercooler. Any impurities in the water will remain as a residue on your intercooler. Picture the deposits left by sprinklers on brick walls...
Of course, spraying the water inside the intake is also very effective. Especially when you mix it with methanol.

That how to is for injection into the intake system, but can also be used for spraying of the intercooler.

You could substitute the washer nozzle for a mister nozzle from an irrigation system that could be found at a local home improvement store. I might take a journey to Home Depot tomorrow.

Just to give you an idea. We have misters at work, if you open the hose (sitting in the sun) the water is real hot, but when it comes out of the mister it is super cool. Huge difference.
Keep in mind we're talking external use here. If you're injection into the engine be sure the nozzle isn't going to come loose and get sucked into the engine.
