I won't get into the long story and I will do my best not to bash the certain shop that did this install.... what I will say is I was dismayed at the install job and unprofessionalism. I was told they had done this exact kit before then found out that mine was the first from this company they've done. They followed half of the instructions and the other half they went completely against the instructions (i.e. they used teflon tape when the instructions said to not use it as it will clog the system). They also decided to tap my s/c elbow when i had specifically asked them to just tap the CAI. I had asked about the teflon tape after it was all done and the response was they've never had an issue with it.... carrying on... the whole job was botched, which leads me to this thread.
I have had absolutely no cooling effect. No change in IAT or IAT2, however the methanol is kicking in as I am running a lot richer. I have had a few people tell me that where the shop put the nozzles it won't atomize and that's why I am seeing no cooling effect. My question is, is this placement ok? Or do I need to plug these holes and tap the CAI? Where are the IAT and IAT2 sensors located? Is it possible that it's being injected post sensors so that they are not catching the temperature change?
My mixture is 12 bottles of HEET to 1 gallon of distilled water.
***An added thing that really heated me was that the whole reason for going to this shop was to have my s/c pulley swapped. Took work off to go to have everything done. Apparently the shop lent the pulley tool out to a friend and said the friend would be off at 3:30pm. (I arrived at the shop at 9:00am and they didn't touch my car until 1:45pm. They were working on a different project with no deadline. I left the shop at 9:00pm with a botched meth injection install, and no pulley swap. They said to come back next week and they'd do it. Came back at the agreed upon day. Still no pulley tool. All in all I had a terrible experience. I ended up going to a different shop to get the pulley swapped.
