Quite mad that, id need to find a custom mapper to make the most of it, thats maybe an option for the future once im wanting more power, ive just glanced at the topics you posted, is the meth triggered by flagging temperatures or driver switching its got to need topped up fairly often too surely ?
Ill read about it a bit more tomorrow
Janner_Sy:
if you want to make more power then have it mapped in, however the ECU has enough adaptation in it to advance timing when ever you switch it on. You can turn it on or off at your leisure or with really expensive kits it'll do it itself.
The bonus is if you just use it as a bolt on with no map changes its just going to be like using maybe 102ron fuel with lower intakle temps. JonnyC and many others have started using them as bolt on mods for their TTRS stage 3 cars as the intercoolers including uprated coolers dont cut the mustard. iirc JonnyC uses an AEM kit which s purely a bolt on. Couple others use aquamist which is lot more technical and will need changes to it.
Also bear in mind you could use it purely as water injection, and just have it for the cooling effect. YOu only have to add meth if your after a little more power http://www.vagoc.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?t=8862

Starting to regret selling the labonte s4 kit now :stupid:

Thanks mate good info that, i think i might go for that at some point ! Maybe start with the water and move up to the meth when im wanting more power, still pretty expensive though i think id want the aem it seems like a simple well built kit, its still pretty expensive though at about £700 fitted ! Or £400 and do it myself (including bottle at £100 !! Surely you can just use a standard vw bottle and save some money ) i think for the kit to warrant the money id need it to be injecting the meth aswell for a power increase.
Janner_Sy:
This is the kit most guys recomended to me http://www.methanol-injection.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=29&osCsid=680474ca8c0ce301676d9a1550cfdd9a
Contact these guys, they can fit it much cheaper than anywhere else. And yes you can use your washer bottle
