...94% correct.
no the water wont hurt it.the intercooler works like the radiator. Air passes over it to cool the intake air moving within...no air is actually pulled into the engine from there. In fact the water might prove to be a bit beneficial...

Keep Right Except to Pass
There's a tray on the bottom of the IC that sort of makes the water exit out the back.

yea...its acctually like water cooling a computer, sorry for the geek reference. I was working with one earlier this evening. But yeah, the water can actually cool the air further
