inside the sleeve is just another small circuit board, I was told when I got the ecu that secs would know about it.

all I want to know is how it works and how to wire it up?

I would sell it and use a pectel board so you can adjust the temps and pressure that the WI will come on at.

Yes i imagine you can adjust the settings but i would prefer to adjust them via the ECU instead of a standalone type system.

This way you can set it in the map to do other things not just Temp or Pressure related.

Thanks for pointing the obvious out Dave you COOOOOOOOOONT


It is a water injection add on controller, preset to 20 psi boost and 40 degrees charge air temperature.

It is NOT mapped but an independant controller board I designed.

Hope that helps
