I will try and do a run with it switched on vs switched off. Just a case of remembering. Im pretty sure before i was seeing around 40c without the water spray at high revs so it made abit of difference. The OEM sensor is poorly located in the inlet manifold so not sure it gives you a true reading of whats going on with the air temperature. I mean it must get some heat soak from the inlet manifold which is heated via the coolant system.

I will try and get the runs done and give you some data!

Yeah I'm in the process of relocating mine just before the TB on my after cooler. Now I'm thinking this may not be a good idea if using water meth as the sensor will get soaked as it would be right next to it.

Do you guys think this is viable on a 110k mile engine? Anyone fitted the kit with mileage similar?

Lost a nut!! Just having a look yesterday and noticed a nut has come off and gone missing, think it happened a few days ago i remember a noise and thought it was just a stone, guess it was a nut.

Its the one that hold the supercharger restricter bracket to the engine using the m10 double sided stud bolt? if that makes sense, must of vibrated loose, but its in such a awkward place to get to its hard to tighten it!

Don't think its a critical thing, so i dont think their is an immediate need to replace it

In the process of installing mine. Might go back and remove the nut and add some thread lock on to ensure it does not come off.

Because I'm one of those people that likes to blow things out of proportion, I am putting k nuts on my build.
