Water Methanol Injection instead of a bigger intercooler...?
Shoduchi:
Yeah, the M4 GTS has water injection to enable an higher boost pressure. I have a friend with WMI in his GTI that only uses distilled water stored in the wipers water tank. I might do the same one day too. :smiley:

I used Decasol screen wash which had methanol in it to stop it freezing over winter. Saves having 2 tanks!

Not sure if that liquid is good for the combustion but shouldn't be bad since you used it. I've seen online that the Excel screenwash has 1-5% methanol, 30-60% of ethanol and 1-5% of Propanol.

From what I've seen, WMI does allow for quite a few extra horse power in tuned engines (i.e. running all the "stage 2+" modifications) but I'd imagine as with most things, it's increase is a function of other modifications increase in engine power. It certainly allows for cooler inlet temperatures which is something I'm looking into now I'm planning a hybrid K04 setup with a replacement inlet manifold that caters nicely for WMI.
I'll be keeping tabs on this discussion as it's quite relevant to me... :drinking:

This intake manifold has 4 ports for WMI - http://www.performancebyie.com/ie-2-0t-fsi-tsi-tfsi-intake-manifold-ea113-ea888-gen1-gen2
Not cheap though, but it would be more effective than spraying a single mist into the throttle body!
With a decent system that has fluid level detection, you could probably use that sensor to switch to a 'safe' map if the meth runs out.
