i got my 50/50 water/methanol up and running, starts injecting at 9psi via a variable boost controller, i think i've got my pump turned up too high because the car feels slightly sluggish compared with when i've got the system switched off.
lots of tweaking to be done!! :rolleyes:

controlled by variable boost controller?
Not on /off via pressure switch?
Mines low tech..
0.5mm jet currently set to 1bar switch in...
Goes like hell. :)
You can notice the difference can you Bill?

bill check this site out, http://gallery86541.fotopic.net/ my one is the stageII kit!!
if anyone fancy's going halfs on the nitrobooster give me a shout!! looks like fun!! :thumbup:
it'd be better getting a few bottles due to the shipping dangerous good costs!! :thumbd:
May kill the head gasket tho, most of the guys using this stuff say it's safer than giggle gas!

Not too sure Ben to be honest... certainly is'nt huring performance..
Yesterdays quick blat around the local "private industrial estates" proved it was scary and spinning up in 4th... TCS system was working overtime. BANG BANG BANG BANG..... not exactly a progressive system... LOL

interesting they install their injector right up against throttle body, where Aquamist say to inject just on outlet of intercooler.

they told me to install just after the IC on the 1.8t engine.
what do you think of that nitrobooster stuff?

Hmmmmm.
Spray that in via your water injection then? Is that what you're planning?
After you.. let us know.. (I am chicken)
My motors stressed enough as it is..

Yip, but i'm not sure yet but it sounds good fun.
what things are likely to give up if i use it??
From what i understand it works in a similar way to nos but safer according to the guys on the snow performance forum.

just standard ones, replaced them after i had a run in with a big puddle!! :hide:
bill do you think this stuff would be ok for track days 1/4miles etc? suppose it'll be the same as everything else - ok in moderation!
It all looks good on paper but nobody over hear is really keen on WI.
