i kinda want it now, but hows does one go about adding this? is it something an average joe can do? or a good shop should do? and how would i figure out the water and meth %?

Nothing you couldn't do yourself with vag com and help from us. Assuming you have half a brain.

i've wanted W/M injection for a while now but from what I've read, it needs to be checked more frequently than a low capacity catchcan in winter.

please correct me if im wrong though :thumbsup:

There are some precautions you need to know. Although W/M is a great way to do all that the video said it would do, but be careful.
1. Some people like to take their intake manifold and do direct injection, however this does not give the "Spray" enough time to atomize into the molecular form.
2. On the other hand, the aftermarket throttle body pipe has a bung hole specifically made for the injection nozzle. This is a great location as it is far enough away from the intake manifold and combustion chambers to atomize however this may cause a problem down the road.
The throttle body flappers are made of plastic and over time, the methanol can deteriorate the plastic and make it expand and contract. Too much of this and the flap can either expand and get lodged open or even worse, make it so brittle that it breaks into pieces and gets ingested into the cylinders.

The solution? There is a bracket that you can buy that is installed after the throttle body and before the intake manifold. This bracket has a bung hole for the injection nozzle. This is still far enough away to allow the W/M to atomize and be as useful as the video says it is but after the throttle body so as to not effect the flap.
