Made a start on the WMI today, nothing much to show so far, just running cables and working out where to mount the pump and tank, got the nozzle fitted into the intake hose:

You know what Rob, thats a really good quality pic there mate nice depth of view and good focus on the principle target. What camera is it.
Ok pump is mounted in the boot, I have decided to use the washer tank due to the low mileage I do it doesn't warrant a second tank, so using the DO supplied fitting, I tapped into the tank and fitted it, hose is run down to the pump and hose run from the pump to the nozzle at the front of the car. I also re-instated the level indicator in the washer tank to warn me of low water/methanol, I had to run wiring right from the front of the car to the boot, but it's done. All that's left to do is wire up the DO controller and it's finished.
Some of the new battery stuff arrived today but still waiting on the new heavy duty cable.

Got the rest of the battery stuff later today, so set about ripping out all the old battery cables and installing the new heavier duty stuff. All the connectors are properly crimped on and heatshrunk, so a vastly improved install over the old one.
New junction box in the engine bay:

I haven't done my homework much on WMI, but.. it means that it can run both Water and Methanol into the engine? Is it like shots like those nitrous?
The water is for cooling and the meth you burn as fuel. It has a higher octane so alous you to advance the timing to increase the power. Have a read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_injection_(engines)
So let me get this straight, it's only ideal when full-throttled (which of course increases the power)? The injection should be controlled via something right?
No. You can get MAF based control and boost control units. So it either depends on what g/s you are flowing/boost you are producing at any giving time.

Thanks for the links! I'll venture more into these kits. Learning new things everyday.
No problem mate
Thanks! Once I've got it dialled in and working I'll start advancing the timing for more power!

No boost, the arm was holding the wastegate open so all the boost was escaping, when I disconnected it the wastegate shut, so I have adjusted it so it is shut now, so makes boost again.
