I know some of the guys over here are using it on there street car class which are restricted to pump gas and block treads, Splinter is making 1600hp with his twin turbo 598 cu in Ford V8, Sleathy is making around 1500hp with his pro charged nitrous injected 511 Chevrolet www.audiracing.co.uk

It can only help

I know that Helix offers aquamist dual-stage water injection with the Psi-Fi Turbokompressor. It's my understanding that the main reason for the water injection is to prevent detonation and subsequent spark-retardation and power loss at high boost. I hope to have first-hand knowledge of it soon.

I bought a STI water sprayer nozzle from Subi ( $7 ) and put it into the mouth of the air scoop and also bought the washer tank for headlight cleaning and put it in the driverside fender being i dont have that option ( $60 for everything ) and it works great on hot days and even better on cold nights like last nite. For the size of the tank it lasts along time and i also keep a gal of water in the back seat.

What happens in the winter when the temps drop? Do you spray snow into the engine?
