Seeing that some are using those, would you care to share your thoughts about them. What system you have, what you need to consider running it, how it actually works with/without it, practical issues like filling up, etc?

Aquamist 2D

very rapid and very efficient cooling

operated by boost presssure switch, pulsing at the same rate as fuel injectors (via controller unit)

if wacking about then need to fill bottle (washer type bottle) every petrol fill up (starting at 7psi)

main dissadvantage is th filling each time

but as said, massive drop in temps quicky, but compared with a good charge cooler its a bit of a pain

How big is your water tank and where did you mount it?

What's the jet size you're using and where did you mount it?

Do you have IC or just WI? Did you log any temps with/without it?

(actually I'm after the Muggiano kit, just trying to figure out if their approval works over here, but seems a bit hard to get any replies)

...uhm...maybe these should be split to chitchat and let this topic continue with water injection...

I think they only fit the kit themselves in Germany.

Has anyone got any pictures of there WI installation. And how easy is it to fit. Does the ECU need remapping after it is fitted?

AFAIK, there's no need to remap, but you may gain some power if you do, cause you can run higher boost/more advance without knocking.

did remap after adding WI as the boost can go a lot higher as a consequence. I used a washer bottle located behind the drivers side rear light (UK drivers side) readily available on e-bay
