    No expensive system

    Was running a Fuel pump using irrigation fittings, injecting the water at the start of the plenum. Just using a pressure switch for control. was running a half water half methonol mix :) . just get yourself a 2+2 water resivor. Thats what I used as my tank. and because the tank was low I didnt need a one way valve. you need to run the lines like you would for your fuel. I had a Rail as such with a regulator set at 55psi. return line into the tank. Worked a treat. the spray tips were from a irrigation supplier. I used Boost jets to control the volume of water(.9mm). You have to install a filter on the water line before the fuel pump, a fuel filter worked a treat for me.

    any problems with the fuel pump, i was reading about this on anotehr forum

    and some guys were saying cant use fuel pump because it will seize something about fuel being the lubricant for the pump, i'm not sure but if you were successful using it for a while then i guess they are wrong.

    Just to confirm you fit spray tips after the the throttle bodies not before them, did you require to tap the plenum with a new thread or anything? the nozels aimed directly to the rear of the plenum? I was thinking if i go down this path maybe fit the nozel to the intercooler pipe before the std boost hoses connecting to the throttle body, what do you think good or bad idea? (it is pretty far from the throttle bodies i guess).
    cheers

    I had no

    Problems with the pump. Can see what they are talking about. A new pump only costs $90.

    I taped into the throttle just before the butterflies.

    I will look for a pick.

    Cheers
