Never changes state? CO2 evaporates when you drop the pressure on it, and if it drops pressure fast enough it forms dry ice. It's ideal for spraying on an intercooler because you won't have any wasted liquid CO2 that leaks down and evaporates somewhere else than in the intercooler.

i may be wrong.. but look at washer fluid.. the winter kind.. if in not mistaken its 50/50 water and alchohol.. ethonol.. methanol or something i think... i know a guy here who runs its in his supercharged viper on his alchohol injection setup

the injector idea will not work. been there and tried that. Unless you built about 30 psi pressure the injector will not mist worth a shiet.
I tired that and it failed miserablly. So im still working on a way to use a line off the manifold under boost to push water through only when in boost.
