Be interesting to see the gains.

What wiring is there?

Is the methanol expensive?

Methanol is £25 for 25litres, eBay.

Distilled water, cheap.

Apparently a 4litre container will last roughly a whole tank of petrol.

Won't be that much really.

Gains...? Unsure.

Lower temps and bit more advance, maybe 5-10hp for £5 per tank full of petrol can't be that bad..

Oooo, just depends whether it needs to be mapped on a rolling road or tweaks can be done from vagcom logs.

Only thing is the setup isnt cheap :(

Its just the price thats putting me off.  I dont mind running it as the meth aint too expensive.

£500 for a good kit  (or whatever it costs) is a lot for 5bhp.

ahhh, I still dont know, its a lot of money for little price and hassle of changing maps etc.

Next route would be nitrous and water meth, but i imagine it would crank the torque up a bit too much for the poor rods.

Ebay core, but with 2.5inch pipework.

I will have a DIY twinpass by the time it gets mapped though.
