I ran a water/methanol injection setup on my DD, I plumbed it before the supercharger, it worked great for a while then over time it lost some boost. The water/methanol took the coating off the rotors, they looked like new bare aluminum rotors when I took the SC off.

yup i am sure the coating will come off my rotors to but insted of recoating i am going to see if the blower shop can put the rotor teflon strips on them like my old B&M Mega blower had but they might not work due to no fuel running through the blower

This is well above my comfort/knowledge level, but I thought I had read that the solution was "simply" to plumb it after the supercharger.

I have a few ? Larryinkc just wondering how many miles where on the supercharger before you put the water / methanol injection and how many miles did it go before the coating cam off and how often did the water methanol come on was it every time you drove the car did you get after it enough to make it come on and at what boost pressure did it activate i am asking so i can get an idea of how long the coating will last before i need to repair the blower then i will have High Speed Lab recoat them and rebuild as they claim there coating can take it

I started spraying at 7 lbs of boost and I used it pretty often. It probably went about 6 or 8 months before it started loosing boost. I had High Speed Lab rebuild mine also. They coated the rotors and case both. I didn't use the water,methanol after I got it back from them so I can't say how their coating holds up.

Today i got boost juice and a camra mount now i just need some decent weather and i will get it so the tune is decent then i will due a video that should be happening in the next few day

Hi you only need to watch the first 30 seconds of my ride along video i made it with a gopro4 hero the cars tune is not 100 percent but i can at least roll into the throttle now but the car needs a alignment as you can se me getting tossed back and forth when it gets to a certain speed

Sounds beastly! All I could clearly make out what you were saying was "whoops" at the very end.

Can't wait to hear you going through two or three gears at WOT on dry pavement (and after a wheel alignment).
