Default I want to learn more about water injection on a a4 1.8T..

I've seen the kits, And have looked at other people's install.

But I have one question. When a person does log on intake temps. Block 004, which reads the intake manifold temp sensor behind the throttle body. Wouldn't the water mist affect the temperature reading a lot? And possibly give us a false reading.

I have seen people shoot the mist upstream from the exit of the intercooler.

I'm just trying to learn more about it. Since I know nothing about it. And have read a lot of info people have posted on the web.

And how much of a reduction in intake temps compared to ambient temps is ideal. In a drag racing point of view.

thanks, jaime

Wouldn't be a false reading since the temp sensor measures actual. The temp is what it is..

Default I thought it was every man for themselves? Since we didn't have 10.

I already bought it from the guy on ebay. I'm just waiting for his package to arrive. He said he shipped today. Sorry, I was rushed to get it all hooked up. Hopefully I can have everything put together by 3 weeks for the drag strip.
Water injection/intercooler/s4 bumper.
