Default Water injection

Silverbullet, enjoyed your post the other day. Could you give some ballpark cost figures? Also, if you can get great prices, what about the possibility of a group buy?

Default Re: Water injection

I've ridden in Slvrbullet's car, and it's just awesome (and that was pre-downpipes, still waiting on another ride!!). The way I understand it, running high boost in the lower gears is a bad idea because the intercoolers are nearly worthless until the car is moving. There is where the water injection compensates most (of course it helps under all conditions), and Slvrbullet's car is a MONSTER in 1st and 2nd, compared to my GIAC chipped S4. I've never been in his car on a highway sprint, but off the line it's incredible. 3 people in the car on 18" wheels and he got all 4 tires loose on a rather mild launch. Honestly, it pulls so hard that you really have trouble focusing your eyes on his digital boost gauge in 1st gear. Sounds unreal, but trust me on this one :-) I'm sure if I'm mistaken, he'll correct me, but I'm considering this setup for our turbo cars, especially since it is very inexpensive, a few hundred bucks at most, and very effective.
