i/c spray = intercooler spray. basically when you press it, it sprays cold water on the intercooler.

yes, there are aftermarket kits available that us nos, but the system factory fitted to Impreza STI's is definatley water.

Sign up to www.scoobynet.com and search 'intercooler spray'. there are many topics which fully explain it.

Yes, RE the fuel you should use as close to 100 RON as possible, which if you're in the UK is Shell v-power or BP ultimate @ 99 RON. This helps to stop engine 'pinking'
