Cheers Andy C
Result!! The rapid temp drop is because the alcohol evaporates much quicker than the water and rips more heat out of the I/C more rapidly. It seems that my original theory works :shock: , the Alky drags down the temps quickly and the water then keeps it there once the alky has evaporated and stopped cooling.

I'm now convinced that I/C spraying is effective - not as much as WI - but a damn cheap interim measure which I'm going to be installing soon.

Thanks for all your time and help on this Andy, much appreciated.

P.S. Why only spirited driving on Sundays, mine gets wound up to max boost on the way to work every day - and it's only 5 miles

Cheers

Andy
