Will it make any difference ?? I just read something about it a while ago and thought it might help a bit so thought I would give it a try if it wasnt to hard to do.

My understanding was it helps to reduce the temp of the intercooler itself, which has been heated up through natural heat induction from the heat of the engine, by soaking it in water. This in turn helps the intake temps from the intercooler start off at a lower temps than they would have otherwise. I also guess it means it takes less time for the intake air through the intercooler to cool off once running as in theory it will be starting at a lower temp than if you done nothing.

I hope I made that clear
