the best, cheapest way to cool an intercooler ready for a run up the strip?

i have seen some people using fire extinguishers seconds before a run, or how about adapting a washer jet to spray water across the IC??

suggestion/thoughts please :D

They banned the Washer jet systems like on the Evo's and WRX's in NZ. Because the water goes onto the track and causes traction problems.

A friends 10 Second Mirage had a water cooled system stored in the boot. He filled it with Ice before had. It also had two huge fans. But that is getting a bit over the top for the everyday person.

Celica GT Fours have a water cooled turbo. Works very well.

watercooling was also not allowed at Santa Pod for the Japshow event... and if you got caught using it they wouldn't let you run.
