I do not have one but my friend does, Its not a "water" only injection it should be mixed w rubbing alcohol 50/50 so it will evaporate the h20 from the mixture. It is used to "cool" the charge from your boost. It should be mounted on the down neck of your intercooler (if I remember correctly) as far as performance goes everyones car is different it may add up to 20 HP If installed correctly,.. and then on the other hand it may only give you 2-3 HP depending on what your car likes. You do want to install it on a relay tied in w/ your first "RED" LED light on you factory boost gauge so it starts injecting at about 12-15 psi of boost. You don want it running all the time. Or some just use a good ol' momentary button, If thats what you feel comfortable with. So all in all I would say HECK YEA! put that baby on and see what happens! You and your car only live one life time!!! WHY NOT???
You deffinately dont have anything to loose..
just make sure you FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS and install it properly, and Best of luck to you!

i was reading, the very limited page of instructions, and it said to install the nossle after the MAF sensor, thats all, so i put it in right after it, going into the turbo, dose anyone know if that works, or will i •••• alot up? the pressuse switch is not workin rite now, im going to hook it up to the light like you said, but i want to make sure its in the right place first. thanks

I would put it just for the intake after the innercooler. Where you are putting it, the water and alcohol with fill up your intercooler and not reach the cylinders.I'm in the process of building my own alcohol injection kit. You need a very good nozzle and a pump that will deliver more PSI than your turbo.
