I have been running Evens in the Jetta for ~10 months. I don't think it is really worth it on the street but at the end of a long hot day on the road course I was very happy to have it. My water injection transfer pump failed reducing the WI by ~ half. The improved heat removal from the combustion chamber area made the loss of WI almost unnoticeable. This is remarkable as I am hitting 12 to 13 psi boost with a static CR of 10.4:1.

I will be using Evens for my race rabbit when the new engine goes in.

On a side note / question: I just did a full flush on my Burb I was under the understanding that the Dex is better :?:

How about how it reduces the cavitation in engines, and is there any more positive effect over water/coolant if it were to leak in to the oil, or elsewhere?

Dex is rumored to be pretty hard on gaskets and stuff. It lasts a long time, but I've swapped all mine out for regular green antifreeze.
