W/M for N/A?
I did a search but didnt come up with anything. Is anyone running w/m on their n/a car? I've run it on my last three cars with great results but they were all F/I.
I'm partially interested because I ran it on my 2.0t FSI (VW/Audi Direct Injection) as a means of slowing carbon buildup which was a huge problem on the first gen VW/Audi direct injection motors. In conjunction with a catch-can it virtually eliminated carbon buildup. In addition, when tuning for it, even on the stock turbo, I picked up 20whp. Obviously I know the gains wouldnt be that substantial, however I'm curious what kind of gains people are seeing. |

I don't think your going to get much response as i have not seen many if any running WMI on NA FA20's. If E85 is available, that is probably a better option. E85 tunes will gain 15 - 20 whp over pump tunes in most cases. A portion of the gains are due to the oxygen content of E85 and a portion are due to high octane and detonation resistance. I suspect you will get some gains but not as much as E85.

It's something I've thought about a lot however I haven't pulled the trigger yet. In an N/A car you wouldn't use much water as you wont cool the incoming air as it's already the same temp as the water which you are injecting.

Don't worry about carbon buildup, this car has also port injection
