RE: Water sprayers on intercooler....
Couple things-
No, not Canada for me, though I am close- Seattle area. McChord AFB to be precise. Of course, to be fair, I'm only here about 100 days a year. I spend a solid 250 days a year between Germany, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other assorted pits (There are good places too, though- Hawaii, Australia, Guam, and Thailand are nice, but unfortunately I only spend about 1/20th of my time in those places, of course).
Secondly- I am a big supporter of the turbo toys, simply for the dial-a-boost and high-octane switch, for a couple reasons:
First, like Dusty says, PVO tuned both to work in harmony with the motor, and who am I to think I can regulate it better than them (some of you can do this, I know, but I am not one- I'm a dolt when it comes to fuel/air mapping, boost peaks, etc.). If you're comfortable tweaking it yourself, awesome, but not me.
Second, I don't like driving around with a laptop on my passenger seat. I know GReddy and others make controllers but 1. I like a clean cockpit, and 2. If you really want to tweak, those controllers aren't going to do it for you.
But that's just my take.

When I get Stage 2 with toys, I will be changing the water sprayer to a CO2 sprayer for a cooler intake charge. I might also use the intake tube bulb to cool it even more yet.[sm=smiley17.gif][sm=smiley2.gif] For more info on these check this place/link out: DEI
