help building a intercooler sprayer

Hello everyone, I've been back on the stock tune for my car as my fuel pump failed and out here in California we've had a major heatwave and my car heatsoaks horribly. I'm thinking of creating a intercooler sprayer out of this https://www.amazon.com/Audew-Univers...%2C198&sr=8-13 and I need help in terms of wiring up the pump as what connector could I use? please let me know

I've been considering a sprayer as well, i was planning on just running my own wiring to the positive terminal under the hood, or something similar, then possibly using an Arduino or something to run the pump every X seconds when i flip the switch in the cabin.

You'd use spade connectors of the correct size. From the pictures 1/4" and 1/8", but to be sure take the tank and switch to a hardware store to find the right sizes.

Pretty funny I just came across this because I built one two days ago out of boredom haha.

I had some stuff laying around so I used those parts as proof of concept/test it out.

Here is what I used...

-12v diaphragm pump, 1gpm with 30psi auto cutoff.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

-adjustable spray nozzle
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

-around a gallon water container, flexible
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

-1/4" water line (same as ice maker water line) with push connect fittings.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have everything running into the front passenger side since I know I can run the 1/4" tube into the cabin easily. Currently running on 4 sprayer jets but I think the issues is too much water causing saturation and not enough evaporation. I did get IAT to ambient temperature of 90 degrees. I'm going to try one or two sprayer jets and see if that is better.
