Hi all,
Could someone reccomend a boost controller that could work with water injection. Or two seperate items , I'm a bit confused (generally) and also about what are thebest/good setup's.

Cheers

Paul, as for the boost controller I dont know. I only like going for the ECU option, ie. Link, ECUTek and the like.

As for the water injection, I use an ERL Aquamist 1S system. This is controlled by a pressure switch coming from the inlet manifold.

How much boost are you running that you need water injection? If you wna tsomething that will control all try the TurboXS UTEC ECU. It is around $1000 (US) and will control Nitrous, water injection, and will allow you to tune the entire fuel and timing map as well as boost.

It will actually be for my mini, at the moment I run 16psi on the mini ( 180bhp) but want to go up to about 25psi, a freind currently runs at 22.5psi (218bhp at 6800rpm). But to go that high I'm going to need water injection and maybe nitrous.
How is the water injector fired, by pressure or temperature ?
Pressure is easier, but charge temperature would be more acurate
