Throttle Body spacer for WMI
« on: January 14, 2012, 11:44:22 am »
I have seen a couple of WMI setups on the 1.8t using a TB spacer to fit the WMI nozzle in.

Does anyone know where i could buy 1 off the shelf for the 2.0tfsi? Alternately i'll have to get a custom spacer made up.

Would the above be better than the elusive bsh TB pipe? Do you know when you'll have time to fabricate a tb pipe and will it have a WMI bung?  :happy2:

I think its very worthwhile replacing the plastic pipe with a slightly larger bore alloy version, but not running the wmi before the tb.

Best option would be to have an uprated pipe and the wmi in a spacer between the tb and the inlet.  No worries of the wmi destroying the plastic tb.

I still don't think wmi is the best overall option after seeing the state of some intake guides after meth was run for a period of time.  This was a 50/50 mix and I would only run a 75 water and 25 meth mix.

Remember the water does the cooling and the meth adds extra fueing and higher octane.  Meth also kills aluminium.
