Default DIY Water Injection and Intercooler Sprays?

Anyone built either?? Anyone know where to get some jets/nozzles that will spray a mist rather than a jet?

Stainless nozzles with a ~1mm hole are used here in combination with a boost activated high pressure water pump. The most popular nozzles are for originally for poison/incecticide spraying in agricultural use. Costs roughly a pound each, are stainless and available in various sizes.

edit:This was about water injetion, not intercooler spray.

When I made my intercooler spray I used a garden irrigation nozzle that I got from HomeBase. Did drop temps a little but not enough to make it worth the hassle
