Even better is to use the A610 intercooler and convert it into a chargecooler. The GTA intercooler is a terrible design with no flow direction at all, wheres the A610 unit flows from one side to the other, rather than both inlets at the top...

A windscreen jet isn't going to do the job.

Peter, I'd find a headlamp washer jet - they actually spray water and at much higher pressure, secondhand were talking pennies surely.
