Hi cheers, that would be perfect if it operated the other way round. Needs to be open and then make the circuit once the boost psi is reached.

Any other ideas anyone?

I've linked a water spray to the alarm output of a SPA boost/temp gauge in the past and works fine.
The alarm current output fires up a relay coil to energise the spray motor.

The SPA gauge also has a trigger output for temp, so If you can monitor charge temps then you can avoid spraying when the boost is high but the charge temp is low.
