    Hey guys this is my first thread so first I wanna say hello and thanks. Now to the point I've been looking at this website http://www.snowperformance.net/default.asp and im not sure if I should believe it or not. I found this quote and it sounds to good to be true.

    "Incredible! After installing the Boost Coolerâ„¢, I can run 8 psi
    more boost and more timing with no knock!"– Reinaldo Maloon, ’02 Dodge Spirit Turbo.

    I just want some insight on what others think.

    It's definitely true. It'll raise the octane of your gas. Lots of STI's on IWSTI are running 30-50 horse more at the wheel. I'm ordering an alkycontrol kit from alkycontrol.com.

    I had an alkycontrol kit on my 05 STi...awesome!!! My best advice to you is prepare for injection with proper gauges and your setup, get a proper tune, and choose your kit wisely. The best failsafe is an over designed kit and a smart operator.

    For reference on LSE's Dyno Dynamics I hit 273whp and 315wtq with a TBE, Accessport, 50/50 meth/water injection, and a TopSpeed tune. The torque was awesome once the injection hit!!

    What is the downside to the injection? Why don't you see it on factory setups?

    If not used/modded correctly it can be dangerous for the car and the person in it.
