I am an air conditioning engineer and can tell you that a water spray on any finned heat exchanger will dramatically increase it's efficiency, cooler air going to the engine. Now the bad part. The intercooler is aluminum (as are most finned heat exchangers) and will corrode significantly if sprayed with city tap water (chlorine). Well water usually contains heavy metals (calcium and iron) which will mechanically plug the air passages. If you want the increased efficiency and long life of your intercooler you will have to use either distilled water or de-ionized water. One of these is bad too, ask a chemist because I can't remember which.
