If it is the one from Autospeed.au, I've got one.  Yet to be
installed- mostly because I've been having trouble figuring out how
to spray the intercooler on a type 44...there's about zero room there
:-)

I think at one point I had decided the popup headlight washers on the
newest porsches might work, but changed my mind.  I've now settled on
a system of pipework- small diameter hard tubing with needle-sized
holes in a 45 degree spread.  Not sure.

The unit itself is very smart- it monitors IC and ambient temp, along
with (relative) engine load via one of the injector lines.  All
accounts I've seen are that it is very well designed.

Intercooler misting would work FAR better on a S-car(new or old) with
ducted intercoolers, where you can pretty much just stick a cone
spray head in the duct and get nearly 100% coverage.
