Are you boosted, or is that just a name? What engine, car, and what are your goals for the car?

its used to drop temperature...ever heard of water injection? very similar..research it...i used methonol on my set up only on the track though...works great...ive never had a problem...i change my oil after each use though...ive heard about it thinning out the oil...but in my opinion it all burns off in the combustion chamber...its good to be safe though... here is a picture of the methonol kit.

You won't need meth, alcohol, or water injection until it gets to the point where you're pre-igniting while you're using the highest octane gas you can find - I doubt ur D-series turbo is up that high in hp, or is it?

Put really simply, max octane gasoline + preigniting/misfire/predetonation = meth/alcohol/water injection kit

yeah i agree...pointless if your using low boost and high octane gas..my last set up was high boost on 91 octane....im going to be tuning on c16...so i have no use for it anymore.
