Now that I have been in Phoenix for about 6 months and experienced the heat I'm trying to decide if I should go with a water meth set up. I've noticed a rapid decline in performance when the temp exceeds 100 outside. Some days boost will hold at 10psi and some only at 5[headbang]. Over the past few days there has been more Florida like weather here and my car has been great, holding at 15psi all day. Btw, my car is an 02 1.8 with revo stg 1. Opinions?

Water/Meth is great in Arizona. I used boost cooler in my blown mustang(which was my last car) and it gave great results and really helped with engine knock in this hot arizona summer. I think it is the best bang for the buck unless you want to pay for better intercooler.

even with an intercooler you will only be cooling the boost to the ambient temperature. with water meth the boost temps will be colder.

Do it. Been running water/meth for 6 years now, no regrets.

this is the next thing i will be doing for my A3 when my paycheck hits. the bigger GT28RS turbo HATES the heat, i had a Revo Stage2 MK5 GTI keep up with me on the highway when it was 107 outside.
Devils Own from BSH will be the way i go.

Thanks to everyone for the response. I guess I know what my next purchase will be.
