Cars are cheaper than women. And don't let any woman tell you otherwise.

How would your woman like it if you spent your money on another woman instead of your car(s)?

Life is for living, live it in the fast lane.

I have convinced myself of all of the above :lol: :lol: :lol:

Took it out last night (the car :wink: ) and the CC is really doing its thing temps didnt go above 30 on full boost.

Funny thing this Methanol though (re the water inj) i was speaking to Chris at NorMal fabrications who made the alloy tank and he reckons his speedway bike runs on 100% methanol with a aloy tank :? suppose the problem with a water inj tank the meth is in there all the time corroding the alloy with the poss then of blocking the filters/jets

Would a PWR charge cooler (4" x 10") work on a 200ish BHP GT Turbo doing away with the intercooler? & using the Charge cooler only, Will it be upto the job on its own?
At the mo the GTT as a big front mount IC but the idea is going over to the standard look keeping the standard front bumper, i reckon the CC will fit neatly behind the bumper. BUT will it be upto the job alone keeping the charge temps down :?

Just a thought, should there be any antifreeze in the system in this cold weather?

No if you read it its a 'water cooled boost pipe'

Thats not a chargecooler. Thats just a straight pipe with a small water jacket around it.
