There are two guys with supercharged Boxsters installing water/meth. I think one of them has it working and is doing the tunning now. I will update everyone here as they get their project going.
The details as off now is they plan on running 7psi of boost off of their superchargers, and one of them is installing a intercooler.
I love all of these projects we are trying.

Can you just run Water to decrease the IAT for resistance to heat soak? I could care less about more power, but I could also care less for the risk of motor going as I've seen it happen before. But if it in fact decreases the IAT's, then why should you have to tune for pure water injection if there is no desire for an increase in power, but moreso sustained power in hot conditions. Would be safer IMO if it could be done and worthwhile for road racing.

Has Mitch posted any results to this yet??
I am hopefully picking up an '02 TT this coming Friday, and I plan to install a meth. kit on it soon, and was hoping to hear some results from someone.
I've installed and tuned 3 Alkycontrol kits on personal cars, and a customers car, and have had great results. Does the stock Porsche ECU have any inputs, so that it can see the meth actually coming on so that it can pull fuel/add timing?? Or do you just have to have a custom tune done with the meth kit on already?? Just trying to figure how to implement my failsafes like I do in the other cars that I've put it on.
BTW-I've NEVER had a problem with the plugs fouling with a meth kit. Something must be wrong with the tune if he's going through plugs that quickly, no matter what engine it is being used on. I personally run a twin nozzle kit (M10 and M15), where I pull almost 30% fuel with and can run well over 30psi of boost while on pump gas.
Thanks for any and all help.

Hey Tim,
I usually see between 20-30 hp gains on most me7 cars when tuning for a 50/50 water meth mix.
Im actually tuning a 996tt with an hfs-1 aquamist kit tomorrow. As far as fail safe go, you want to wire it to interrupt power to the boost frequency valve. This will drop you to wastegate presure if anything does go wrong.
Shoot me an email if you have any questions. We use water injection on many cars around the shop....including ALL of my personal cars.

I do have plenty more questions though, so can you email me the best contact # for you, and hopefully we can figure something out.

Ill see if the customer Im tuning tomorrow will let me post his results. If he does, Ill start a new thread with results!

Tony, we've actually already talked breifly about this a few weeks ago!!
