You don't necessarily *have* to tune for it, but it is beneficial to do so. Anyway, water injection is perfectly fine for what you want.

So, when are you going to be doing this build?
No arguments with that! Well, I am picking my car up on the 27th. So, after a full break-in and a little financial recovery from the down payment, I will be up there to see you guys. I decided to do the brakes on my car before I even picked it up so there went some of my mod money, haha.

Is water or water/meth injection recommended if one is using 98 RON fuel or is this just an optional extra?

Sweet! I'm excited for you...nothing like that new car smell.

It is an optional extra...it is not required. We only recommend it if you are going for gobs of power on stock compression with pump gas. The stage 2 supercharger kit out of the box performs very well and does not need water/meth injection to operate correctly.
