question about water/meth ......

[Triton]

I've read that it might be pointless to add water/meth injection with a upgraded intercooler. Can anyone verify that ?

It seems the more you can cool the air the better you'll be but, is it possible the a bigger intercooler is doing enough cooling to not use injection ?

Do you have boost and pyrometer gauges? Don't know if you need water/meth until you know what your EGTs are for how you use the truck.

yep, I'm way beyond that. Just got my intercooler installed and I've been thinking about doing the injection also but, if it's true that having a bigger cooler flowing more air will keeps things in check than it would be a $500 waste of money for the injection.

If your EGTs are in check with the intercooler, wouldn't think you would NEED the water/meth. Though, I don't see a turbo in your sig, if its stock you might go with a bigger turbo 'stead of the water.

Well, thank you for trying. I'm asking about the need for water using a bigger cooler. Not if the EGT's are in check. EGT's are rarely in check even with a bigger turbo.

Many people run a water/meth set up and i wondered if anyone knew, if they've found a need for the injection even when using a bigger cooler. Or, does the bigger cooler do the job well enough on it's own. I understand everything else that has to go with keeping EGT's in check. Sorry, maybe I didn't word my question correctly
