Snow Performance Stage 2 Boost Cooler Forced Induction Water Methanol Injection Kit (Without Tank)
The Snow Performance Stage 2 Boost Cooler is a complete water methanol injection system designed specifically for forced induction gasoline engines. This kit delivers precise, progressive injection to lower intake air temperatures by up to 150°F, enabling safer higher boost levels and consistent power delivery that exceeds what standard intercoolers alone can achieve. For turbocharged or supercharged vehicles seeking reliable charge cooling and detonation control, the SNO-20010-T stands out with its boost-referenced metering, which maintains dense air charges under high-load conditions resulting in noticeable torque gains and reduced engine knock compared to non-progressive alternatives. Built with 100% methanol-resistant components, including stainless steel braided lines and anodized fittings, this system ensures long-term durability in street, track, or towing applications, making it the practical pick for drivers who demand repeatable results without constant adjustments.
Key Performance Benefits
- Charge Air Cooling: Reduces intake temps by 50-150°F through evaporative cooling, increasing air density for better combustion efficiency and allowing timing advances or boost increases without risking damage.
- Power and Torque Gains: Supports 10-20% horsepower improvements (up to 50-70 HP on typical 2.0L-3.0L boosted engines) by acting as an effective octane booster, equivalent to running 116-octane fuel on 91-octane pump gas.
- Detonation Prevention: Progressive injection starts at low boost and ramps to full flow, eliminating hot spots and enabling cleaner burns that cut NOx emissions and extend engine life.
- Efficiency Improvements: Lowers exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs) by 100-300°F, reduces fuel consumption by 5-15% under load, and minimizes carbon buildup in the intake and combustion chamber.
- Versatile Operation: Handles up to 30 PSI boost pressure, ideal for daily drivers, autocross setups, or light-duty haulers where sustained performance matters most.
This kit outperforms fixed-rate systems by adapting injection volume to real-time manifold absolute pressure (MAP), providing cooler, denser air across the entire boost curve for smoother powerband delivery and fewer lean spots.
What's Included in Your SNO-20010-T Purchase
Every Snow Performance Stage 2 Boost Cooler kit ships with all essential components for a straightforward install, excluding the reservoir tank (use your existing windshield washer tank or purchase separately for custom setups). Here's the full breakdown:
- 300 PSI Ultra-High Output (UHO) Pump: EPDM diaphragm design with double seals and thermal protection, mounts securely in the engine bay with included hardware (4x #8x1.5" self-tapping screws and washers).
- VC-20 Progressive Controller: Compact engine-mount unit (1-20 PSI range) with harness, LCD display for boost/injection monitoring, and external MAP sensor, programmable in seconds for precise activation thresholds.
- Hyper-Sonic Nozzle Kit: One or two high-flow nozzles (sized per horsepower/boost, includes 100µm filter and aluminum 90° holder); produces 20µm droplets for maximum atomization.
- High-Flow Check Valve: 35 PSI crack pressure assembly with 4AN adapters to prevent backflow or siphoning.
- Stainless Steel Braided Lines and Fittings: 4AN quick-connect kit with sections (1 ft, 2 ft, 5 ft) for pump-to-nozzle routing, heat- and abrasion-resistant for engine bay durability.
- Wiring and Mounting Kit: Full harness (red/white/black wires), ground straps, low-level sensor pigtail (optional integration), and E6000 sealant for threads.
- Installation Manual: Step-by-step guide with wiring diagrams, nozzle selection chart, and troubleshooting tips (average install time: 4-6 hours).
Note: Tank not included pair with Snow Performance's 3-quart engine bay reservoir (SNO-40010) or larger trunk-mount options for extended range.
Fluid recommendation: 50/50 distilled water-methanol mix (not included).
Vehicle Fitment Details
The SNO-20010-T fits universally on gasoline forced induction vehicles with turbochargers or centrifugal superchargers up to 30 PSI boost. Nozzle installs post-intercooler/turbo outlet, pre-throttle body (after MAF sensor). Compatible with positive displacement superchargers if mounted after the blower. Select nozzle size based on engine output (e.g., #4 for 200-300 HP, #6 for 400+ HP chart included).

Forced Induction
Forced induction systems encompass every method of pushing air into an engine at greater than atmospheric pressure, including turbochargers driven by exhaust energy, superchargers driven mechanically by the crankshaft, and prochargers using centrifugal designs belt-driven at higher ratios than traditional roots-type blowers, with each approach delivering a significant increase in air mass per cylinder fill that allows proportionally more fuel to be burned and more power to be produced without increasing engine displacement. Adding 10 PSI of boost pressure to a naturally aspirated engine can increase power output by 50 to 70 percent depending on the engine's breathing efficiency and the quality of the supporting hardware, making forced induction the most power-dense modification available relative to cost and complexity. This collection covers complete forced induction systems, turbocharger and supercharger hardware, intercoolers, blow-off valves, wastegates, and supporting component...

Water Injection: Easy Installation - Huge Improvements The Boost Cooler Water Injection kit enables active cooling of the combustion process, allowing for increased boost pressure and ignition timing without exposing the engine to higher thermal loads. Key benefits include: Compensation of power losses at higher ambient temperatures Reduction in specific fuel consumption Lower exhaust gas temperatures (EGT) Optimal Cooling with Boost Cooler The Boost Cooler injection system operates through three main processes: Water droplets absorb heat from the intake air before reaching the cylinder head, effectively cooling it. The evaporation of water droplets further cools the intake air charge—by up to 60°C and more! Steam produced in the combustion chamber acts as an anti-detonant, preventing carbon build-up and excess...
