Meth/H20 injection is the 'easy' band-aid approach to fix poorly tuned FI performance upgrades, increase the rwhp numbers, or to overcome some hardware engineering defect in the kit. (such as high IAT's)

A poorly engineered hardware design will lead to a number of performance related issues.

The last thing the tuner wants to see...is a poorly designed and engineered hardware package.
Nice scare tactic bud.


Even on a kit that doesn't rely on W/M, it can only help, not hinder performance. I agree with you, running a tune or a certain boost level that relies on W/M to keep certain parameters in check is a tad risky, but if you have the right safety mechanisms in place, then you are good to go.

There is only so much power you can make on 91 craptane, regardless of the hardware or tune. W/M injection is a tool that can be used to "push the envelope" further while still using pump fuel.
