Fitting Water injection to a Golf5 GTI

Hi all I am new to this site, and have spent some time reading some of the posts about these kits. I have been looking for the past two weeks at injection kits and I have finely settled on the Devils Own set up as it seems good value for money. I need some advice though on what I have decided to fit. I have decided on the basic kit and a anti syfon valve, purely on the cost factor. I plan on using the 7mm jet, and setting the pressure switch to come in at .6bar. I am going to use the washer bottle to hold the meth mix, as this way I will know when the level is low. My only worry is how smooth the onset of power will be? When the car hits 0.6bar and the pump starts pumping I do not want the car to jerk or feel unsmooth in any way. My car boosts too 1.2bar and is as smooth a butter when she come on boost, and I do not want to loose that. Any Ideas? Thanks

With diesels it comes on smooth, Even with the boost activated kits because your boost and air flow are also increasing as your give it more throttle.

Re: Fitting Water injection to a Golf5 GTI

I suspected as much. I am trying to keep things as simple as possible so that I can hide it and make the install look factory. My car only has 26000km on the clock and I do not want my service agent having hart failure when I take here for services. So you also think the pressure activateded rout should work well?

Yes it works very well comes on smooth you just cannot set it as low as a progressive kit. You can pretty much hide the whole system if you wanted to. Just mount your pressure switch inside the car under the dash and the pump in the trunk.

Re: Fitting Water injection to a Golf5 GTI

I see you said diesel ? My car is a petrol GTI. I run GIAC on her. I have a pump gas map and race map. I can change the map using a flash loader. My race map needs 100oct to work correctly. I also have a 76mm exhaust and a Forge cold air induction kit on her. I am hopping the water injection kit will add to my setup, and not make the her run "lumpy" Any thoughts?

Like bruce said it's comes on smooth on any vehicle. This is not nitrous.

Put the pump in the fender lining under where the battery is. Use 7 gal jet.

you can drill and tap jet onto black plastic pipe that is before TB - at the bottom before the sensor.

Pm me if u need more info
