OMG, I just wrote a huge post and it got erased... ERRRRR!, any hoo, I wanted to say, the session that I datalogged, was at the end of a 30-45min session, were I was working on my part throttle maps, and at the end I was working on my WOT maps for low boost, I did about 5 WOT pulls from 2nd through 4th, and then single gear WOT pulls for gears 2nd through 4th, needless to say, the car was working pretty hard, And If I remember correctly the highs for that day were something like 95deg, and the session was done at 2-3pm(hottest time of the day), B4 the meth kit my IAT temps ranged from 94-108 and my EGT temps were at a steady 1200@WOT full boost 18PSI. My EGT temps droped the most going down to 1050-1100deg now. B4 I installed the kit I was very iffy about it(water in my motor?? Noooo way) but I am now a FIRM believer that this mod should be on anyones list of mods if they are going Turbo/Nitrous, Even all motor apps can see gain from this mod, again remember the Alchohol/Meth/Water will not increase your HP/TQ alone, the gains come into play by being able to run a more advanced timing map and more boost without the need for race fuels(not that they wouldn't help) but for the people already suffering from knock/detonation you will see nice gains due to the fact that if you are running a knock sensor and knocking the ECU is pulling lots of timimg away, and the kit completely eliminates the knock there for leting your ECU run on the normal igntion curve.. Agian there will be mixed opinions about this but I think anyone boosting should invest the cash to get this mod, There are kits out there ranging from $50DIY kits all the way up to $500-$600 kits that have all the bells and whisels(spelling??). Eihter way I am as happy as can be with my setup, and I dont have to worrie about melting my nice expensive motor because I wanna up the boost or advance my timing a little..
