I like this part but how you integrate your kit with Utec? Is it only by boost?

For a Stillen kit where the 7th injector is already near the throttle body, where else can i locate the nozzle, or is it safe to place it near the 7th injector?
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

Matter of fact, by running water methanol injection you will not have to run nearly as much timing retard or any depending on the size shot your going to be using. Remember, nitrous accelerates the combustion process which is why the ignition retard. Adding a water methanol injection helps stabilize the combustion process and give you that added octane increase to help prevent detonation, and cool the exhaust gas temperatures.
This is the short answer. But "yes" the two get along quite well. Hope this answers your question.

Some questiuons I had from your for sale thread:
So, if I understand this right, you have to run a fluid line from the trunk to the engine bay, as well as a vaccuum line from the engine bay to the trunk, and provide a +12V constant and ground line?
Couple of questions, then:
1. Whats the current draw of the pump?
2. Does the pump only activate under boost (positive pressure on the vaccuum line)?
3. Is it variable by boost, or is it one set pressure for any boost?
3a. If it is variable by boost, is it user programmable, or factory set?
4. Does it also have a +12V switched, so it knows when the engine is on, or is there a relay involved that I need to buy, or is there a driver mounted switch? Or is there something else entirely?

the kit is still in my garage, i'll install it next week maybe, i had to wait for the UTEC. (which came in couple of days ago...)
i'll keep u posted

Couple of questions, then:
1. Whats the current draw of the pump? 4 amps
2. Does the pump only activate under boost (positive pressure on the vaccuum line)? The Stage 1 systems are boost activated only while the Stage 2 systems can be activated by boost, EGT's AIT's, TPS, Mass Air Meter or any other 0-5 volt sensor on the engine.
3. Is it variable by boost, or is it one set pressure for any boost? The Stage 1 system is a non-progressive flat rate system. The Stage 2 is a variable flow progressive system metered off of the signal you choose to run.
3a. If it is variable by boost, is it user programmable, or factory set? This is user programmable.
4. Does it also have a +12V switched, so it knows when the engine is on, or is there a relay involved that I need to buy, or is there a driver mounted switch? Or is there something else entirely?You would hook the system up to a 12v ignition on power source or you can use a relay.
