I am totaly new in this and recently bougth SC kit based on Eaton MP62 with 7,5 PSI of boost.

What is average water consumption in WI system? I presume that it should depend on SC/turbo boost, i.e. driving style, maybe size of engine.
In any case I would appreciate very much if you could give me some parmeters.

TIA

Hey Nenad.. this is for your Passat I presume? :)

I use about a half gallon of WI-fluid per tank of gas, of course depending on how I drive. It's a difficult question to answer precisely since it depends greatly on the design of your WI system, but a gallon sized resevior is common for street cars.

Or look at it this way... if you're running 6 440cc/min injectors @ 3bar @ 80% IDC at your horsepower peak, with 20% water/fuel ratio, you'll be pumping about 420cc/min of water, so you'd empty a 1 gallon resevior in about 9 minutes of max usage, so just figure out how much time you would spend at peak power during the course of a tank of gas. You'd empty your fuel tank in about 30 minutes giving that example.

Hi Mac,

thx for lightening answer. :D
Yes, it is for my SC. My injectors are RC 270cc/min at 3 bar.
Mr.Richard Lamb from Aquamist was kind enough to recommend 1S or 2D systems for my set up.
