Vwthunders build thread (finally)

Those temp drops you saw with each additional water/meth injection point added are pretty significant. It makes sense that each time you add an upstream injection point that your downstream ones might have to be resized. Yeah I suppose you would have to drop your post intercooler nozzle size when you added pre intercooler injection because your inlet air temps would be lower than before so theoretically less inclined to cause full evaporation of the mix and also the air coming out of the intercooler would already be loaded with water molecules and less inclined to absorb more before the throttle body. Or maybe you could inject water only pre intercooler as temps are highest there, but meth only in the post intercooler section (since the meth evaporates at lower temperatures making it less likely to get unevaporated droplets wetting the throttle body electronics) - different mediums at different points.
Pre-compressor injections an interesting one eh? Maybe on the track compressor damage would be an issue because you'd be on full boost and injecting a large percentage of the time, but on the street not so much as it would only be there time to time as you give the car a squirt every now and then. dunno. Your setup sounds awesome though.

Hoyhoy.

You also have to watch that ya don't make the intercooler into a interwarmer, this can happen with any pre intercooler injection.

Rewind about a week ago and water/meth injection wasn't even on the radar.

Thanks guys, more things to spend cash on.

How often do you need to top of up the tank?

haha! Are you bringing the Pogo to DOVW this weekend?

Just out of curiosity, how did you pipe up the return from the PWR intercooler and did it make a difference?

[vwthunder]

Front or rear, rear are hella, front are just ebay with led's

So i spent the day playing with the control arms, not literally lol.

Changed the rear bushes to Superpro, with the anti lift and the front of the control arm i installed Powerflex Black Series.

It was a total pain in the arse to do, i don't know how many of you have done it yourselves, i am so sore right now from being under the car for so long. Thanks to Gavin for lending me his extraction/install tool which made the job easier

Car is amazing to drive now, feels totally different, im very happy

Good stuff Troy, guessing it's stiffened it up a bit more? How's the vibration?

No vibration, I already had Whiteline control arm bushes in, yes it stiffens the front quite a bit, but its not a harsh feel

Turd job hey! I started mine in the driveway and then a 40 knot southerly complete with horizontal rain started. I was committed as I needed the car the next day so needless to say it was a freezing, drenched, miserable mechanical experience.
So can you feel a real world handling difference between the zero offset whitelines and the anti-lift setting you have now? What front LCA bushes were you running before when you had the whitelines in??
