The kit looks good but if you'r after power gains then i would sujest getting a ko3s/remap or go bigger like IHI. This kit is for cars that are maxed out on power and still want more.
I'm not saying you wont see a gain but there are better thing out there to go for first IMO

I just rigged up the rear washer to a hose that squirted on the FMIC. Pain in the ass and didnt do much.


Save up and buy water/methanol kit.

alright olly ive got the ko3s and fmic exhaust etc not fitted yet want to get the stuff and fit in a one off,

 

[Olly20VT]

OH ok then, I just don't think you'll see much of a gain for the money and hasel of fitting. If you do go for it could you do write up and let us know.

If you do go down that route, then I assume this is for track use so that you can keep on boost without FMIC heatsoak. If you do, see if you can get a temperature operated electronic switch (or build one) so that you can have it on automatic operation when the IC gets to a certain temp. Would be cheap to build, and very easy to wire up to this kit. I dare say you could probably make up the kit cheaper with a water washer bottle from the local scrappy, or just the pump and put in into your own container.

i see what your saying pummy but not going big turbos so erl might be a bit overkill or is it?

It is more to do with keeping the temps down BEFORE it rises and you have to cool it. Tinkered with this setup on a mates Punto GT and it made more a difference to the inlet temps when we measured them.

IF you are contemplating getting the kit, then the other mods I mentioned would make it an automated system so you just have to top it up with water and make sure the water does not heat up the container that holds the water.

Just my experience on a smaller engine turbo where the inlet temps on a hot day were really killing the performance. And it was a Fiat, so anything to keep the engine cool was always worth investigating.
