Default slim fan for smic?

what do you guys reccomend on keeping a dsm smic cool? i noticed after along drive with a combo of redline pulls at 85 degree weather, my smic gets heatsoaked at only 6psi of boost. i was thinking about a little slim fan? or water cooled via windshield washer nozzle? or any other cheap ideas? thanks in advance

I did some tests on the water sprayer idea. It worked a little, but my IC never got hot enough because it so big for my power goals. I learned that the finer the mist and obviously the cooler the water the better it will work. If you just keep water in the Windshield washer fluid it will heat up to the same temperature as the air plus a few degrees because it's in the engine bay. Ice water seemed to work best.

I was going to suggest a c02 sprayer, but just fork the cash for a bigger IC if you're going to do that......how about routing air to the IC the slimline idea should work, never seen it done though
