Would the space made by canister delete be a good place for said Forge WMI tank that I Definately won't be buying?  :evilgrin:

No, but I'd be tempted to use the existing windscreen wash reservoir as a WMI bottle and use the space from the canister delete for a small windscreen wash bottle. You will use more Water meth than windscreen wash over the same period and the water meth will stay cooler in the windscreen reservoir and the windscreen wash will stay nice and warm for those cold winter days up by the canister position :happy2:
Golf R gone.

I've never been a fan of fitting the wmi pump in the engine bay which is ideally where it would need to go if you were to use the original washer tank.

Could meth be located in the boot or would this create too many problems?

thats where most if us on here, that have meth kits installed have then fitted, in the boot. Not heard of any problems. Mine works fine. I may stand to be corrected though :happy2:

Hi Alex

Thanks for taking the time out to look at my brothers car yesterday , brillant customer service. :congrats:

Workshop is nice and I'm loving that heater lol. (I'll bring some cans up next time)

The bluewagon is mighty indeed and im loving the way it handles and brakes.

Once I have some deeper pockets I'll let you loose on mine.


Cheers

P.S my brother picked up the TT front end this morning so he should be doing a bush kit order with you.

Small Update.

Changed yet another clutch master today.  Makes it number 5 now.  Trying to sort a twin plate setup from Helix now.

Also just fitted a new in tank LPFP.  Its an OEM pump from another car.  Idle pump load has dropped from 45% to 29%.  I will get some logs up once Ive gone them, then reveal what pump it is.

Have you measured the flow of the other OEM pump? 300l/h?  :smiley:
