use washer res to cool supercharger??

Hello all, new to the forum but not new to Mercedes.
I recently traded my c230 for a CL55 AMG .
I have been looking into cooling upgrades and have found a few,
-splitting the engine coolant resevoir/ ic line
-adding an ice box in the trunk
- adding a second resevoir in the engine bay somewhere a bit larger than the small bmw res.

My question is
am i an idiot for thinking the window washer fluid resevoir could make a good resevoir for my supercharging cooling system??
obviously i would lose function of the washer fluid- i dont care.
i know it is a low pressure res for the washer fluid- i am posting this assuming it would be thoroughly sealed with a pressure cap if need be.
let me know what you guys think!
i know this is a very vague question, i just figure theres a reason people dont do it.
thanks,
Kenny

2 things.
1. This is the CLK forum not CL
2. I think even if it was sealed and could hold the pressure it would melt.

I am going for the secondary reservoir. Late Model Cobra or Jack Roush Heat Exchanger. With cooling fans.
Investigating the Killer Chiller.
Much tuning to do yet before getting crazy with mods. I just received Micro-controller for retrofitting an E55 SC. This will keep me busy for a while, Only a few more parts to go.

Check out my post in the cl55 section, i built this setup last week and it has worked great so far. It cut my iat almostbin half at times! And cost less than 100$, and looks completely stock while getting to have a resevoir larger than 1 gallon!
