Do you want a timer circuit with relay for your water spray?

Try heating up the pipe with a lighter and force it onto the nozzle. But any hardware shop should supply with different diameters of pipe.

A circuit that works with the TPS voltage would be intresting. =)

So a TPS switch that throws in the water spray at say, WOT or maybe a voltage below. Surely a boost pressure switch would work better. So when say 1 bar is reached the timer circuit sprays the IC for 4 seconds minimum and only cuts out when the boost drops?

Do a search on water spray. It is only useful when you are just about to take it off the line, a good soak before you set off is how it is most effective
