Here you go!
Firstly the dashborad switches:
Graham Goode CLICK HERE
GGS256 Intercooler spray switch (automatic) £25.52
GGS257 Intercooler spray switch (manual) £21.70
You’ll need both!
Then the pressure switch:
RS components I’ve use this one but there are loads to choose from. CLICK HERE
G 1/4 Type 0166 Pressure Switch (0.1 -1.0 bar) £13.14
Then the timer switch:
Forget the Graham Goode original timer, very expensive and no wiring diagram try this instead.
Vehicle Wiring products CLICK HERE
at the bottom of the page
Interior light timer. Leaves the interior light on for 10 seconds after the door has closed. And can also keep your intercooler spray pumping for 10 seconds. Ref:GLR1. £6.07
Also Spray nozzels
Graham Goode CLICK HERE
GGS882 Single water spray nozzle £11.49
or from Homebase, buy the micro irigation spray nozzles for a few quid.
Then the other bits:
1) 5 amp cable, ideally 3 diffrent colours for easy wiring.
2) Connectors to fit the dashboard switches, plugs don’t seam to be available unless you buy a whole wiring loom - no luck on the Niles website either (they make the switches)
3) Heat shrink - you’ll need this to cover the connectors on the dashboard switches as the connctors are very close.
4) Vacuum pipe from the maifold to the pressure switch
5) Water bottle and pump - can’t help you here - got mine from girlfriends a Nissan Micra!
6) Bracket to mount the pressure switch - fabricate yourself.
7) Windscreen WasherTubing - halfords, not sure of price
And most important:
Wiring diagram for the switches and circuit.
Hope this helps a bit.
Regards
Pete

You can do it really cheaply by diverting the headlamp wash tube to the i/c instead. Use Micro misters from the garden centre for about £5 as spray jets.
Makes **** all difference on the move though but it may reduce temps at idle!

I've got a UK STi with a manual system which has a manual switch already. Does that mean I only need to buy the auto switch? In other words is the manual switch in a manual system the same as the manual switch in an auto system?
