so does anyone run water injection on their turbo cars…? What are some opinions on it? I have been looking at this here kit [http://www.alcohol-injection.com/universal-base-alcohol-injection-kit-p-8.html](http://www.alcohol-injection.com/universal-base-alcohol-injection-kit-p-8.html) ---

I have this one [http://www.alkycontrol.com/](http://www.alkycontrol.com/) in my typhoon and I love it, during the summer I had intake temps around 55 degrees when it was like 80 out. ---

Water injection is a pretty good way to keep things cool. Heres an analogy you can relate to. Its kinda like when you are eating wings that just came out of a fryer and are scalding hot, the best way to instantly cool your mouth is to drink a sip of cold water. Same principle with your motor. ---

I’m going to throw out there that a properly built fuel system will not ‘need’ water injection. ---

Although that’s true, some of that fuel is cooling the intake charge. I read a guy’s review once that showed injecting water before the intercooler made a significant difference from injecting it after. ---

I had Devils Own alky kit on my GTP twop years ago becasue i dropped pulley sizes,nothing but problems with the hose breaking. I unhooked it one day and scanned and found out i had no KR so i took it off and sold it. Some like em some don’t. ---

well I really need to cool my intake charge… being that the car is a mid engine its kind of hard to get the most efficient intercooler… I just bought a w2a intercooler thats basicly a top mount… but still would need all the help I can get… ---

The install is rather easy the instructions that come with it are really indepth, as for tuning it thats a whole other story you have to play around with fuel pressure,spark plug gaps alot to get it right. ---

water/alky injection really helps. dont need to add/run race gas in the tank too when running higher boost amounts. cooler intake charge is always good and it does its job well, dont worry about having such a great intercooler either. alky is great for cars that dont have alot of room for a nice intercooler or dont have good location that will provide airflow to intercooler I’d go for it man ---

do it , run the meth not just water though. as it will increase ur knock threshold as well as cool the intake charge. more boost!!! ---
