Default Fitting intercooler water spray to a V3 STI

Been thinking of fitting intercooler water spray to my V3 sti and im after a little advice.
I can get hold of bits from JPP in crawley, I know I will need the bottle, jet, pump & switch

Is there anything else I will need?
Wiring diagrams?
Fitting advice?
And the biggest question of all, Is this worthwhile doing?

Thanks in advance

The reason you dont have it fitted already is that your car has abs and that takes up the spot the bottle goes, so unless your going to fit the bottle in the boot (its going to take some inginuity to figure out how much tubing etc your going to need) you may be onto a big job (or a real pita).

The answer to that question largely depends on what else you've done to try and control charge temperatures (or, indeed, whether high CAT is causing your engine problems at the moment).

On an otherwise standard-ish car the answer's no, simply because there are far more effective ways to improve matters for a similar level of outlay (both time and money).

For the amount of mucking about required to install IC spray, you can fit a better intercooler - which will make a far bigger difference, all the time, without needing to be constantly refilled (or its button pressed).

Any hints as to what these would be ?
