After going to all the effort for a smart controller, and full points for that, it would be a shame not to finish off with an effective water misting nozzle! The nozzle you have shown is a spray, not a mist. This will consume a lot of water and will not be as effective as the STi OEM "mist type.
Remembering a water mist evaporating off your intercooler is about 95% more efficient for heat transfer than just water running over the same area.
Seeing your keen to add some technology to the process why not add in a thermometer for $45 from
Jaycar to track the temps:
and the next question would be: where do you mount the temp sensor
AVO do an intercooler - throttle body hose that has a point to clamp this temp sensor directly into.
