Since no one really answered my other questions I'm just going to assume if you run a low amount of meth such as 10meth/90water the only tuning you should need is to adjust the fpr. And does anyone know the overall size of the ap2 pulley not measuring teeth to teeth but edge to edge I'm about to buy an ap2 pulley from someone here on the forums and want to make sure I have the ap1 pulley on my kit since I have no boost gauge yet and I tried my friends but his isn't digital and its hard to watch the analog.

I got 7.7lbs of boost with the AP2 pulley. I think it measures around 4.0" if I'm not mistaken. Someone correct me if I am.

well after asking mark he said it was best not to try, since if the water doesnt atomize completely it will be an incompressable substance that the blower will try and compress. makes sense and i dont want to grenade the blower.
gonna install after the intercooler like u did and cool the air some more. just found a place to get meth too, 35 bucks for 5 gallons, but with water i can stretch it to 10 gallons, so per gallon its not that bad.
more fun in a week or so.

^^^ The whole reason not to do it is so not to cause damage from my standpoint, if it can cool it off some then that better then not at all, I cant believe how hot it gets. Cooling it off has got to increase life and overall performance. Ideally you would want to run two injectors, one for the blower and one for the intake and tie it in on the same controller. But I

Ok so I recently installed my ctsc 
so happy with it! Gonna get an ap2 pulley asap. Anyways I am curious about the water injection since my ctsc doesn't have the aftercooler and I don't have the money nor the want to shovel out the money for what their asking for one. I'm looking to cool my intake temps and have been looking at the aem kit. I have done searches etc and keep seeing about hecash and fperra haved used water injection but can't find any def. answers to my ?'s and would like to get some fresh thoughts on the subject anyways.
1st. Can you inject JUST water or does it have to be water/meth. I understand you can get hp gains with meth but I'm not interested in that since I don't have any management yet and would rather not worry about having to buy it all the time besides water is free!
2nd. Besides hydolock is there any other risks injecting JUST water into the engine?
3rd. I was thinking I could fab up some type of cooler to make the water in the tank colder but would this affect atomization or anything else?
