Well put it this way, Robbie F installed it on my friends jetta and he ended up with water in the sump!

So who is better? Robbie F or well the DIY look at me i'm good bloke?

I trust Robbie and he screwed it up! Its just a warning so that he doesnt screw his up. Just helping thats all!

my biggest concern with this whole DIY jobbie is the adjustable nozzle thing!!!

if its adjustable it probably means that the tip can come off.

i just hope it doesnt come off in the piping and then end up in teh combustion chambers!!!

that would totally suck mabroo - like fully hey!!! not even the mountain could make that nicer!!!

Nope it was adjustable to a point. Like those orange hose spray things.

Well at least you can throw the engine off the mountain... with the water/meth kit attached

Do most of you have the reservoir for the water/meth in your boots? Is it not possible to have the reservoir in the engine bay?? This would save a lot of time and energy??

They use your windscreen washer tank. Its larger and is already fitted!

Just remember that your tank has to sit higher than the pump sothat there is down flow to pump, the pump does not suck flued towards itself it only pumps it....

Yip. Good sense so far. Great. I also use my windscreen washer bottle. Much better now than my previous tank fit in the engine bay.
Also the nozzles are designed very well and wont end up in the wrong places.
And I am looking forward to trigger the w/m with my Unichip. Kind a like feel the unichip now becomes more smarter and works for money paid.

So Mario, NOS jets are no good.
And as mentioned to you, NOS and Turbo dont sell the kit parts seperatly.
Then you can go the route of drilling the nozzles yourself. But this is not easy pal. Those holes are very,very small. So, economically, this is not good. The kit is the way to go man.

I will call Turbo and Nos 2 morrow and confirm parts we need.

I predict, that w/m is going to bloom in SA one of these days. Just give the SA's change to catch up. Although I had an argument about this with a dude on the S and S forum. He also came up with the story of " wm = a band aid". Probably heard that from Calibrator. And if Calibrator is reading this, he will remember the occasion when we argued about it on this same forum. It was also The Calibrator who fitted qwerty's (s14) w/m system with great success.
BTW: I am known to the Calibrator. I have met him.

So, I will not become involved in discussions about is w/m good or not good. How ever pro and cons versus FMIC and combinations with FMIC is always interesting.

I use w/m now for more than a year without any issues and happy about it.

I am looking forward though to exchange any other knowledge to future w/m users.

So Vlade(Pimp), is our space coming up? Nah, may be to early now. Let us see what happens in future.

i think ill go with fitted option, so if there is a problem i can blame someone else.

but the snow performance definitely looks like a decent one, ill just need to save some cash first. has anyone had a problem with their system yet?

How many kw do you get on the wheels with the water/meth conversion?

You don't really gain power with water/meth.... The product is not a power product, it indirectly allows you to make more power though...

1) Cooler air = denser air = more boost on a TBO car = more power

2) Cooling down intake temps are good for your engine.

3) meth has cleaning properties = actually cleans your motor ( be careful, not all spark plugs can handle water/meth)

4) cooler air and HIGHER octane due to meth (apparently up to 110 -115 octane and more, which is allot) allows more timing = which is more power, better spool up etc. High octane and cool air = prevents detonation. (with a good tune though)

No, you do get power mixes, which has a tad of nitro in the water and meth mix... this will give you more uMPH! but not really like power power.

Meth is probably one of the ultimate safety/reliability mods you can do for your car, especially highly boosted/hard performing turbo cars.

They didn't use it on world war planes for nothing... get what I'm saying

So to awnswer your Q, let me ask this Q:

How much power can your setup handle? ie. engine internals, turbo etc.

Put it to you this way, I can feel when my meth in not injecting, the lack of performance and my KnockLite says so.
