Default Re: Audi TT RS - Aquamist HFS-4 questions

WMI finally installed and is working perfectly

I used water and ethanol (ethyl alcohol) --> 55% ethanol.
I placed the nozzles just before the throttle body as the intercooler hose is too thin (I ordered Forge intercooler hoses and waiting for them to arrive).

The gain in power (after increasing the boost and advancing timing) is about 10% and the car feels great but I think that more can be extracted so please help me with the following questions:
1) Currently I don't see any drop in temperatures (I see 25~30 grd above ambient temperatures on high pulls) compared to when the WMI is not used. Do you think that using methanol instead of ethanol will help cooling down the air charge?
2) If I move the nozzles on the intercooler exit plate as marked in the picture (or on the hose that connects to the intercooler exit) would it help with cooling down the air charge?
3) I noticed that with the gain knob in the middle I sometimes encounter some hesitations (the boost is reduced or at least it behaves like this). If I rotate the gain clockwise everything is ok and the car accelerates without hesitations. This behavior comes from reducing the flow or what would be the reason?
4) What is the role of the gain knob?
5) My car makes a maximum 1.5 bar at around 5000 rpm and then it drops constantly until 1 bar @ 7000 rpm. Should I alter the Boost/IDC knob or leave it in the middle position?
6) When wmi is turned on but I drive normally without accelerating the car the display behaves like in the movie: http://s1244.photobucket.com/albums/...MI_problem.mp4 Is this ok?
I attached the final diagram received from you in case someone will need it: http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/...iagram_v02.gif
