what you can do is get a chip for your ko4. run the meth or alky what ever you prefer and on track days you can turn the boost up a bit more. but i would be best to have a tune for the alky and more boost

No, a meth/water injection uses methynol to cool the intake charge. Good washer fluid feels cold on the skin and does the same thing to the intake and helps with the combustion. Boost cooler setups (with an ice box) are usually only used with liquid to air intercoolers.
It gives a higher octane and helpsprevent the water from freezing as well...

Ok, I know this thread is a little old but there is a lot of good info on this.


My question is this:
I am going K04 and want to run the PC-16 file but I do not have a FMIC. Would the injection kit work this well with the stock SMIC? Also how long, on average, does a tank of this last? And can I run windshield washer fluid instead of the pre-mixed stuff? Thanks.

I didnt use it in a Audi but i used it in two of my evos. I was using a SMC kit. I made about 420whp on the stock turbo with it (with all other supporting mods). I later switched to a GT3082r and made over 500whp running 100% meth on 93 pump. I later put a Gt3582r on the car and and only ran C16 and got rid of the meth kit and made over 600whp. I was very happy with the meth, it was great for trying to make alot of power on pump gas.

I would run 100% meth or a 50/50 mix of meth and water. The meth will cool your AIT's alot.

So don't use the windshield washer fluid like some people were doing above? Also how long did it last tank wise?

i woulnt use it, its mostly water. My kit i was running used a 1 gallon tank and it lasted me a long time, but i also didnt beat on my car much. It really depends on how you drive. If your not in boost the meth is not spraying, so if you drive normal alot you wont go threw it fast. if your always in boost then it will go pretty quick.
