I have a stage two Snow kit. No regrets at all.
I don't see anything off the pyro, but the dyno does
show an extra 60rwhp with a 50/50 mix.

With a 50/50 mix, you won't see any drop in egt. To use it to cool things down you have to use more water and less meth. You gonna set your up Sidekick?

if you got the stock turbo and waste gate it shouldn't go over 35 psi at all, even 30 its hard to pull off with the waste gate controlling your boost.

Where do you plan on adding the water meth at?

Cooling Mist computer-controlled DMS plus gadgets off of eBay; more effective than anything else at fractions of the cost.

A Snow kit can cost $800. I can get a 4000 watt inverter for $150, a 1 GPM @ 1000 PSI electric power washer for $150, a nitrous solenoid for $150, a boost pressure transducer for $100, a 1000 PSI diffuser nozzle for $40 and a Cooling Mist programmer for $200.
