So, yeah, for those of us trying to think about what is going on instead of relying on articles... your IC is going to have to be heat soaked to show a difference.
1/4 hp fan is worthless, btw! At 100 mph vehicle speed, the average airspeed the far side of a radiator is 17 mph. That's a whole lot more air mass than a 1/4 hp blah blah blah - how do you think an IC stacks up now?

Re: Water misting spray for ICs... where to get nozzles?
if u really wanted to do it u could go to the junkayard and get the whindshild sprayers and the tank with the water pump in it. that should work..... just mount the nozzles in front of the ic. u might even think about putting ice in the tank 
and if i were you i wouldnt use co2.... it is cryogenic but it actually lowers ur hp when ur engine sucks it up. go here for info

it raises compression, cools the charge, the alcholol raises octane rating, and is verry inexpnsive.

if misting the intercooler is a waste of time, do u really think subaru engineers would go to all the trouble to engineer a water-misting setup on the sti? i'd say they probably did a lot more testing than the guy with a fan and a heat gun.

the STI definetly has a was sprayer on top of the IC that mists water on the outside..i don't know how effective it is. but subaru engineers can't be too stupid I think someone should say..hey i'm sorry lol
