I don't use it but I'm familiar with it since we offer it.

Most guys simply do boost cut, that will give you a quick indication that methanol isn't flowing.

You can tap into the wastegate solenoids to bleed boost.

Fairly simple if you're handy with wiring. (something I hate lol).

Thanks Jeff, Do you have any personal preference on AEM vs Snow lvl 2? Im looking for a progressive system as much of my use will be autoX so not full throttle.

Negligible difference in either in my opinion, like most progressive systems it's simply how much spray you want at what PSI.

I prefer AEM mainly cause their systems have proven reliable in the past.

Send a pic of your nozzle and nozzle holder set up. I may be able to let you know based on that. I know it's the same threading 1/8 NPT

I tested the aem kit.

I ended up buying devils own nozzles and solenoid and all new fittinfs to go with it.
Heres the aem nozzle video I made.
I thought the nozzle was faulty so i bought another one and it did the same thing.

Thats just the nature of methanol injection, its not going to be like an on/off switch like a fuel injector. when the pump cuts off, the residual pressure in the lines cause the drip. a solenoid on each line or check valve will lessen this effect.
