Is that yours? I can not really see what is going on but taking video at night while driving is tough. I have been thinking about water/meth injection do you get more power out of it as well?

Looks like you are local, I am just in Hillsboro.

I live in bend but I am in AZ right now...

if you watch the EGT's you can see them peak at 1000* and then start going back down from there to about 800*.

Its one of the best mods I did.

The gauge on the dash is the water injection pressure... 0-180psi, the pump puts out 250psi when full on, I was only making about 14-15psi at that point, was just showing how the water can maintain or drop EGT's more then anything.

My boost gauges are 0-60, I max out at about 54psi...

Cooling mist... Much better kits, controlers, pumps and injectors... MUCH.

I have run both and prefer the cooling mist by far.

I run water 90% of the time.
