Cheers for that. I know some of you are using WI and would like to know where you have fitted the jet as there isn't much room for fitting on the throttle body.

If you don't fancy drilling your throttle bodies, there is a Prodrive part which replaces the rubber hose between the intercooler and the throttle body, the jet can be installed in the rubber hose, very simple way of using the WI, I used this before on my car.

I have been thinking about this, surely the water jet should be before the compressor turbine, that way U get guarantied dispersal of the water by the compressor blades. Agree or no?

Have fmi and WI nozzle is after intercooler and before throtle body .
Before turbo it ll damage blades in the long run.
Before fmi will take lots of volume and fmi will loose its cooling capacity.

Cheers

I drilled and tapped the outer casing of the i/c just before the short hose that runs to the throttle body. Works a treat

Drenz, no, that's the last thing you want to do. The whole point of the WI is that it counteracts the heating effect of the compressor! If you injected the water prior to compression, you'd heat it - the last thing you want!

The injection jet already creates a very fine mist, you don't need the turbo to "disperse" it further.
