Methanol Injection or HE?
As most here know, I'm pretty much maxed out when it comes to mods. I recently did the dual pass intercooler mod and it worked out great, but my blower still gets damn hot and before I put the 2.6" pulley back on I want to get it cooler.
What should I get, Methanol Injection or the HE? Both will cost roughly the same so money really isn't a factor there. I also have a hookup when it comes to getting methanol. I'm leaning towards the methanol injection though. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Get the meth dude. All the meth users will tell it's the way to go. I'm thinking about it for the STi, you can't beat it with a stick especially since you have the hook up on meth.

Now just to decide between the Snow Performance and Devil's Own kit. I'm not getting the progressive controller as of right now because I just want this as a cooling mod. If I want to tune for it eventually, I'll just buy the controller separate. I installed a Devil's Own kit on an Audi TT, and I it was a great kit. Here are the links for those interested:

Before the blower cools the actual blower, after the blower only cools the air that exits the blower, not the blower blades itself. I think we make more usefull boost if we spray before the blower. You can get the CA throttle body spacer and selenoid and everything for like 550, thats with the Snow performance. Snow I think is the best kit out right now. Thats why its the most expensive one.
2k5ss.sc I would email Kenny and he will probably give you a deal for the whole kit, or maybe even for the spacer and the selenoid itself.

For the injection part of this, I am drilling into my Injen intake and placing the nozzle right before the TB or getting the CA spacer. I want to cool the blower more so than anything. It seems everyone elses have been holding up great with our epoxy coated rotors, and I have a twinscrew on the way eventually anyhow if it screws my blower up.

I already broke that **** anyhow! I'll build up the next one, and have it Mikronited or swap to a full out drag tranny! I think I should replace the pistons before I look for 400whp though... Screw it, I'm game for trying on stock pistons!

meth is just washer fluid peak washer being the best so why is everyone talking about getting it you can buy it anywhere
Methanol can generally be purchased where racing fuels are sold. Also, most gas line dryers like "Heat" are simply Methanol. Suppliers of industrial chemicals can also supply Methanol usually at a higher price than fuel suppliers. If all else fails, most windshield washer fluids are up to 40% Methanol and 58% water.

I know you can get it everywhere, but my has the good stuff meant for racing. Plus his will allow you to blow by the competition and smell like Grape, Rootbeer, Bubblegum, Orange, etc!
Image that civic or what have you saying was that a Cobalt that just smoked me, and why the hell do I smell Bubblegum all of the sudden?
People on here are really going think I'm crazy now! :P:
