Ok but if return pipe in on ? than metanol can go into glader! it can wash glader inside?


it's possible yes, although the methanol injection should only be on at full throttle, it's certainly possible that some could do.  I wouldn't run the boost return hose if you have aquamist.

But if I move boost return hose than I will hv "boost hole" or not? nd lot of compresed air will go directly out! Only on full throttle all air fm glader will go in engine! can I put blow off walve instaid let air to go out? Do y. hv maybe some sheme how can i connect this walve?

air that goes through the boost return doesn't go into the engine anyway, it just goes round and round.  The whole point of the boost return valve is to stop all the air going into the engine unless you are on full throttle.

Is that your boost gauge plumbed into your ecu vacumn feed?

it is sam, i know alot of people have said its a bad idea but i haven't had any problems so far but whilst i am messing with the boost etc i will be replumbing it into the mist boost feed.

All engine mods now completed! At last!

Just been out setting up the aquamist, engine seems to pulls more smoothly now, got the mist coming on at around 3psi as the boost change from 0 to 12psi is pretty much nothing on the throttle pedal so i got it coming in action pretty early.

Currently running 50:50 water and methanol mix. Got the jet after the intercooler on the 45degree aluminum elbow, did a bit of a pikey job on the fixing of the jet as the alu tubing is too thin to tap so the old chemical metal has come into action!

I'll be getting a new pipe to do a proper job when i have decided that this is the best place for the jet. Has anyone run 2 jets before? I currently running 1 0.3mm jet but i have a spare one so i am tempted on running 2 jets but don't really know if it will give a benefit.

I think the mods are done for the engine until i end up with something like 175bhp and thats when i'll be hunting for a big valve head!

The next thing on the shopping list is a Grippa LSD as i simply can't get any power down with dinky 175/50/13 conti tyres! Even in the dry i struggle to get traction until 3rd gear!

yoof had two in his initially, one in the turbo outlet and one in the back of the inlet manifold pointing down the runners. 

where did you get the jets from in the end?  I still need to order some bits for mine.

i got them from aquamist directly, i was going to get a list together and order loads of stuff as Yoof wanted some stuff but was unsure of what he needed so i just bought 2 jets direct from them, very helpful and friendly, stuff arrived next day as well.

Put the boost pressure up a little, you'll use a shed load at only 3psi!!!

Probably set it to 80% of your total pressure around 9/10psi.

Got the mist set up properly today, using the washer bottle pump as a priming pump when the boost kicks in, currently the mist is coming into action at 8psi boost, max boost i get is 11psi at 6500rpm.

Still pinking at low revs and high load but its bloody rampant, its loving the freezing cold air tonight.

The next stage of stuff to be done on the car are maintenance things, got the following stuff to do on it.

Front Top mounts - OEM VW
Rear Top Mounts - OEM VW
CV joint is pretty damn noisy so gotta find out which one is it which is fucked
Brakelines are corroded really baldy - i'll pay a garage to do this as its a right bitch of a job
Rebuild the charger with new seals etc - PeteG40!!!!!!!

Car will be going to JP exhausts next month to be used as a jig to get some PPP exhausts made up, after that the car will be used to test a few more PPP ECU maps.

Said to Yoof the other day that if i blew the engine up or something went really wrong i would strip it for parts and sell it off, after giving it death tonight i wouldn't be able to strip it for bits and sell it off, i'd have to rebuild it as there is no substute for G smilies!
