I did this but on my Front mounted I/C & used the headlamp washer feed for my water source.

The T shaped non return valve needs to be retained, (next to the battery)and run this into a similar (1cm approx) diameter pipe with holes in it and the end blocked off. Mount this in front of I/C, (or above depending if top mount)

I went to a pet shop and got a hard plastic pipe (meant for air) that gives fish bubbles, it has a line of holes all the way down it, connect it up, then use the headlamp washer button to get a 2 second pulse spray. Absolutely floods the I/C with water. Much better than standard fit systems.

If you hold car steady (on boost) when driving, then hit button it pics up about 200-300 revs or so each time you press it. Cost me a fiver, works a treat especially in summer. Only downside is that you have to wipe your headlamps by hand when they're mucky. I also use hardly any screenwash in water, don't know if that matters though. Good mod. Daz
