Around what rpm do you hit start hitting boost and whats your max boost? Do you drive your car really hard? . That seems like ALOT of meth if you are using the boost juice at 9+ psi...

depends how much I get on it. I fill up once a week but I could go 2 weeks but I like to have a fresh mix in there to be safe. I only pay $5.00 a gallon and with the distiled water of course gives me 2 gallons total mix. I also put 4 drops of blue food coloring in the 2 gallon mix to give it a little color and easier to see fluid level.

Filling up the 2 quart bottle every 1-two weeks? If so thats definitely fine with me. Where are you buying pure meth from? Im using the 4 gallons for 50 bucks shipped boost juice. Kinda pricey and I would definitely like to mix my own meth/water mix.

I use Heet from Walmart and mix it with washer fluid. Heet is supposed to be 99% meth.

Most if not all Windshield Washer fluid contain Glycol (anti-freeze) and some detergent. My first choice is to run a pure water/meth mix without any other additives but Windshield Washer Fluid is not really that bad. I have friends who are using them for years without a problem.

Nope seems to be fine. I was told buy the guys at Snow Performance to just use washer fluid when I called in to order some Boost Juice from them. I decided to add extra Meth because normal -20 degree washer fluid only has about 20% meth content. I guess only time will tell if these detergents are bad in the long run.

The -36 has more meth. It's roughly the -degree temp = the % of meth content. So -36 would have about 36% meth.

Wouldnt it be cheaper to buy to the lowest temp gallon windshield fluid for 2 bucks and just add a whole bottle of 12 oz heet?

Yea. I take out 24 ounces of washer fluid out of the gallon and add 2 12 ounce bottles of Heet. It adds up to about $4.25 per gallon.

Windshield washer temp is based on weather condition. Since SoCa hardly see temp below freezing this is why it will be hard to find washer below -20F. Look around coz I'm pretty sure you'll find -20F windshield washer or just mix your own or just look for shop that already sell pre-mixed. Company also change their mix depend on the season so during the summer the tend to cut down on the -36F. In NYC the lowest I can find is -36F but can Canadians can get -50F

Edit:
You (CA) guys get screwed with gas octane, CARB and now Windshield Washer Fluid
