The only thing that can fail on a FMIC setup is a pipe blowing, and if you use proper silicon, and beaded pipes this will NEVER happen, I promise..

Water meths has very high maintenance...using water alone is pretty useless, its the meths that makes it epicly effective, this costs money, and it will drink the stuff...trust me...so already more expensive day to day...you have wiring to fail, plumbing to fail, nozzles to fail, pump to fail, etcetc, so much more likely to cause problems, and its more expensive...theres nothing wrong with water meths injection, hell no, i run it, and its fantastic...BUT theres alot of people who seem to think its the better option / easier option...which really isnt the case IMO...

Also on the topic of fmic's....its worth noting, you can make ANY ammount of power on a dyno on a TMIC...the TMIC makes little difference in single pulls on a dyno, hell you could probs do 300hp on a hx35 on a tmic on a dyno....but driving it fast road / track would be hopeless...The problem with the TMIC is is simply dosnt cool down once its hot...on a dyno its fine, because its cool and during one pull dosnt get that hot...during normal driving however, it gets raping hot in the first 5 minutes, and is then totally useless from then on...I wouldnt say FMIC is last year at all / is pretty much essential in ANY tuned diesel setup....again IMO (I find myself having to use "IMO" constantly these days to avoid people starting heated debates all the stupid time!)

i'm only stirring Darren tbqh . . . . . .point taken about charge temps, at the RR day i was on about to a few people about how much harder the car pulls on a cold evening it's stupid! . . . . . . .i suppose it depends on how you drive, if you rag it plenty you need extra cooling whichever route you go . .
