a lot of people consider water injection just a band-aid for bad tuning, at least for a street car
ding ding ding ding, we have a winner.
alot of the 3s community uses water/alcohol injection kits to cover up for a lack of fuel and lack of turbo efficiency, it helps cool the air charge due to the fact that the 9b's spit alot of hot air, and the stock sidemounts are smaller than dsm sidemounts.
upgrade your intercooler pipes/endtanks first, it'll be around the same price when you get down to it, and it'll show much larger and more consistant gains over a band-aid tuning method.
just my $.02, but what do i know :blah:
