Totally irrelevant really, but I run a 50% W/M mix (Snow Performance stage 2, boost regulated) in my diesel and it is AWESOME!

thanks very much for that justin that was exactly the sort of info i wanted to see. its also great to finally get a link without any bickering to read.

would you reccomend a seperate container for this or just to use the standard washer bottle.
another question is should we run out of methanol, could you continue its use by just using water to keep the inlet temps low.

8-15WHP, id be happy with that improvement on the fly wheel, lol. bang for buck this seems to be very very good value for money. especially when added fuel economy and engine longetivity is thrown in as well.

im very supised this hasnt caught on over here yet. I know its massive with the lancer Evo guys

I prefer to use the stock tank. it is a cleaner look and you can use the indicator light to know when you run out.

Straight water can be used, just might want to stick to a slightly smaller nozzle like a DO3 instead of a DO4.

I'm surprised too but it is very new in the VW industry all together. Guys have been running them on Turbo Grand Nationals over here since the early 80's. VW didn't have a water cooled turbo engine until the 1.8t...

Taking this back to base level - where do you buy methanol and how do you clean your screen if the injection is using that tank?
Sideways yo!

I am sure we have a forum member on here who works for Jabba with a nice white Ed30 maybe he can get us a Group Buy discount!
