Will you ask your tuner to readjust your map to obtain the max performance from the water/meth kit?

is methanol something you can fit yourself, or it is you need specialist skill/tools to do?

yea you can fit it yourself,  just have to make a hole in inlet just before the throttle body.

I'm itching to find out how your install went  :popcornsoda:  What do you make of the Sunoco methanol compared to the 99.99% meth on ebay which is a 60% cheaper, In theory  they should both be identical with the ebay one being 99.99% pure or am I completely mistaken.

You really need to install after the tb as the meth will kill the tb over time.  USRT make a spacer plate iirc.  If you do mount it after the tb then you need a valve to stop the meth being drawn into the inlet under vacuum.

Alex what are your thoughts on the above choices of methanol?  :happy2:

what's this about needing to change the (plastic) throttle body for methanol injection for the metal RS3 one?
