Talking intercooler h2o spray & Temp setup

Tonight, I added a cool little thermometer sensor in my ram air to monitor how hot things are in there. This will help me judge when to activate the water spray on the intercooler. Right now I'm using a huge tester set, with plans to switch to a 1" digital red LCD near my activation switch for the pumps.

Fun! Car is still running great after the custom CAI, no check engine lights after 200 miles. I think that keeping it cool while in "boost" is a great way to increase performance and gas mileage. Have you ever felt a water cooled intercooler after driving? It's very cool to the touch, not COLD but waay cooler than outside air. I'll let everyone know my temperature reports. Hopefully it will work well with the setup i've got. After some tests, I'll post pictures.
