Welcome to our new sponsor Lecatona, a brand dedicated to enhancing performance for VAG group sports cars, including SEAT, Audi, Volkswagen and Škoda. Specializing in High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) upgrades.
on what grounds?????that to me sounds like someones opinion.
Of course you will get gains, inlet temps drop, meaning timing can be advanced, resulting ion more power simple as that. but gains will dependant on mapping
running it as a stand alone mod with no map tweakages will not give much at all.
the yanks on the forums over there, are prone to over exagerating but all say the difference was quite big, the guys on the evos and suburus swear by WMI as well, and they us it on their std turbos as well as uprated BT's.
so far in the research i have done which is quite thorough, i have found an incredible amount of positive info, with very little to say that gaons are not to be had, and the only issues that seem to get highlighted seem to e the result of poor mapping

Yanks rely on it so much because they cant get 99 ron fuel like we can, some cars have to run on 91ron which is a shame, me and pov looking into our kits at the mo but im half thinking of just using the screen wash reservoir... But what if i accidently do the screen wash 
Not doubting it. However my source builds time attack cars with big turbos on our 2.0T engine here in the UK. Owen - remember to make that call. I think you may find it to be worthwhile.
but has he done seen WMI on many k04 or k03 cars, i doubt it because he arnt many in he country, well certainly not on he forums
i had a chat with revo about his a while back and they predicted good results, as did JKM who i was going to get to fit it
id be interested to know why he thinks it wont work

You can still use the screenwash function, after all, screenwash is normally methanol based anyway.
i will give him a call allen but i will need to wait until next friday as i am still away. i will defo call though mate.
im pretty sure he will know, he is probebly the most clued up person i have spoken to about car upgrades.
No, unfortunately. Stopped some years ago. All commercial screenwash is Ethanol based now.
From my experience, you end up going easy with the methanol as screenwash because of the fumes.......
so if you got methenol and mixed it 20/50% would it be ok to use as screenwash? appart from the fumes. i mean will it damage paint or anything?
I never had any paint damage with a 50/50 mix, but as said, I never used it heavily. I put RainX on the screen instead - and it didn't strip the RainX. I have since moved to a separate wmi tank.
sounds like thats what i need then Dan... If i were to run out of fluid whilst driving what will happen? i am just worried that if i get the kit and forget to fill it while on a long journey i will damage the engine!
i know they come with an on/off switch but surely if you turn it off the timing will still be set to high if no methanol is present

Larger volume of water/methanol for trackdays etc. 12l tank. I also have a flow metered safety system that cuts boost if flow is not within certain parameters.
There petrol has a different rating to ours but the numbers are still eqivilent.Yanks rely on it so much because they cant get 99 ron fuel like we can, some cars have to run on 91ron which is a shame, me and pov looking into our kits at the mo but im half thinking of just using the screen wash reservoir...

So basically they still have a 95 and 99 equivilent fuel
does it relay make much BHP increase? my mate has it on his derv and it doesn't seem to do much?
