Water tank mounted in the boot,

Dual colour led for the water injection.
Green when powered up. By the ecu and pump is running.
Changes to Red if the water level gets to low and turns the pump relay off if the ecu tries to activate it

What's the idea behind the boost valve?
Is it just an electronic dump valve, so when you close the throttle it opens to dump the pressure to save it going back through the supercharger?
or is it actually limiting the max boost pressure? so you can map boost pressure to a certain extent.

we are running the charger near max which is too much boost for what we want at present so it bleeds the excess boost off mate
few taps on the laptop in the ecu settings means we can run more or less boost as and when we want instead of changing pulleys
