You need it if you install a water meths kit on your car. The idea is to lower intake temps.

Post by: Paradox1 on November 13, 2014, 04:11:38 pm: you mix the methanol 50/50 with (distilled)water

Meth - Octane boost. (imagine running 102ron instead of 99 from shell or BP)

Water - Cools the Intake temp
