The STI ic water spray works of a independant water bottle on the left hand side of the engine bay, so if your going to adapt your washers to act the same as the ic spray use the rear washer bottle as your feed hopfully you won't get the heat useing the rear bottle.

I'm running a 20L plastic water tank in the boot for my water spray. Haven't noticed any problems with this.

Fitting requires some effort as you need toeither add mount points or find some way to strap the tank down.

I ran the power cables and water hose around the edge of the rear seat, down the inside of the car next to the brake/fuel lines, and then though a rubber groment into the inner wheel gaurds and finally from there into the engine bay.
