ok, i have been working on my project 6gen for a few months now, i only drove it around a few times before i laid it up to work on it, and iam pretty much done for now that i got my turbo kit. i was wondering what is a safe boost level to run on the 7afe. its a 1995 with 86K on it. a bunch of people i no run any were from 5-13 on stock internals, but they are all honda or DSM. i was wondering if any of you 7afte guys out their know a safe amount. i herd any were from 5-9.5 but is 10 pushing it?? i just wanna find out before i set the boost controller to high and throw a piston or rod. thanks

A very fine mist of water (and methanol) is injected into the intake stystem post turbo and mixes with the intake charge. The water absorbes heat - though too much and it'll act like a fire extinguisher. Try looking at www.aquamist.co.uk - they do one of the best kits around and also supply most of the WRC teams. Have one of their kits on my rally car and am planning on fitting one to the FOUR. This'll give you an idea of what is involved re installation - http://www.220gti.co.nz/water%20injection.htm Gary --------------------  1994 ST205 Celica GT-FOUR Group A WRC - running in new engine 1993 Rover 220 GTi tarmac rally car (under construction) 3SGE power here we come....
