thats the main thing im trying to find out if its a viable option..
the options are for me to get a bigger wastegate to run slightly more boost as with my 38mm tial im limited to 23-24psi as it wont hold 27ish psi as it hits boost cut cause it cant get rid of excess boost quick enough.
other options are c16 and nos, c16 is cheap outlay but costs a lot to keep running, and nos im just not sure about but i do have a brand new kit sitting here screaming to be put in.
last option was meth injection but with only 10% gain to be had it isnt really worth it... |
The outlay is worth it 100% IF you are able to increase your boost pressure
This is the thing you need to get out of this discussion, most of your gains in turbo cars are from boost pressure increase and relatively little come from optimization of the fueling and timing..... especially compared to the boost increase.
Water/Methanol injection requires CDI ignition upgrade and any other parts that will allow you to jack up the boost.
Once you invest in the right gear unlike C16 your not paying for it each time you fill up, and its legal too
+ it is kinder on your engine (lots written about this).
In your case you need to invest in the ancillaries that will allow the boost increase, then the Water/methanol injection will simply be the lowest stress way on your engine to take care of the fueling side.
You are correct though that it wont magically give you the double digit percentage gains in power alone, its not how it works sadly.
