CO2 cooling for intercooler, anyone use it?

i've seen a few kits around that use a ring of nozzles infront of the intercooler which sprays Co2 on the fins, claims to lower IAT by 50%? anyone use a setup like this?

I think it evaporates at 109 below zero if I remember correctly, that makes it much colder than R22 freon (-44).

I think the final costing after the kit, and a few bottle of co2 you would be better off with a water meth kit.
