The Spearco WIS kit can be installed with the Turbonetics Stage 1 no issues but to make some more power if you wanted to you would need to tune the car. As for reselling it Spearco is a division of Turbonetics and the kit they sell was designed all in house... Hope that helps!!

I have been using the Aquamist water/meth kit for several months now. When tuning my car, I originally tuned to 18psi with the water inj disconnected. Once I was happy with the fuel and ignition timing, I connected the water injection, without changing ANYTHING else, I gained 30 whp and 35 w tq on the dyno! I didnt want to run on the bitter edge with ignition timing and lean mixtures, I use the water injection to further reduce detonation and the obvious power gain!

Quicksilver: Awesome to hear man. Are you using it to eek that extra power out of your tune or more for cooling/reduction of detonation? What are you opinions on ease of use? Are you using a separate tank or your windshield washer and how often do you need to refill it when driving hard?
Thanks for answering my questions guys.

I could have used a separte tank but i choose the windshield washer so i can see it in the dash when low.

yah... 50/50 mix with methanol/water.... you could improve the the gas by like 6-9 points... IE for me..from 91 gas to ~~97-98octange so that is where i think the most power improvement would come...the waters helps on the cooling and preventing detonation ....

I know when people say 50/50 its the mix, thats not what I was asking. If people could post gains AND what mix of meth/water they use that would be more helpful.
edit-good example of a great post is boogers, he stated the mix and the gains. Id like to know what mix Sharif used to see 1pt richer A/F's with no power loss. Id also like to know what mix Todd used to see gain slike that with no changes. Id assume the higher the methanol mix the more power potential?

it partly depends on the intercooler vs the amount of boost being made.
If you have a huge intercooler and a huge amount of boost, you're working that intercooler just as hard as you would a smaller intercooler with a smaller amount of boost

that will also work booger... haha. Snow perf also told me that if you run straight meth. it could lean you WAY out.. whats the word on the streets about this?
i have a snow perf kit installed on my greddy kit and blew it up, im pretty sure it was because the shop thatwas doin the work failed to tell me that they never swapped the stock fuel pump for the walboro.

Snow Performance told me that they got the best results with the 51/49 solution which is why they are selling it that way. I've been using only their boost juice for almost a year now.
The only drawback is that the shipping of a case is more expensive than the case itself due to the hazadous material regulations from what I understand.
