is alky/Meth Kit recommended for daily dirvers?
couple of questions:
1) is an alky/meth kit reliable and recommended for everyday use and does it lower engine life?
2) is there a way to "switch" this option on/off?
3) besides a tune/flash... do u NEED any other mods, or can u run the alky/meth kit on a stock car?
4) wat kit is the overall best in terms of features and reliability?

well to answer number 3, you dont really use them on a "stock" car theres no need for it. Alky/meth is used so that higher boost levels can be run safely. Its pretty much an alternative to running race gas

yes i fully understand what the kit does But, u can use higher boost levels on STOCK turbo, correct? if this is so u can tune it so it takes advantage of this on stock or at certain rmp...

BTW, I was thinking about getting a Snow Performance kit.

well, its not gonna be stock cause you're gonna need a boost controller if you want to take advantage of having the alky in the first place.....and trying to run the boost you're capable of with it probably isnt advisable with the stock exhaust. not to mention itll be choked up and wont see as much gain to someone with exhaust + alky.....ooo and i almost forgot, youll run outta fuel on the stock pump too...so basically the kit would be dead weight on your car... just my .02

Don't forget head studs are recommended if you're going to run higher boost as well. Basically, there are plenty of mods to do before a meth kit that you'll be very happy with. Just my 2 cents.

actually, i think the tune helped more than the pump...but i dont know how much you can run on the stocker...and more than stock levels for any extended time and youll kill your pump quickly im sure
