Water or alcohol, Tyler? On my setup, I use two M10 nozzles. At the system pressures I run, I'm outputting around 1400-1500cc/min. That's a crap ton of alcohol. Understand this is all experimental but we'll give it a try.

did you set a date an location yet? I've read the thread again but if its there I missed it.
I'm still tracing my boost problem, waitting on the boost pressure check tool I ordered. So if I'm running good by the date I'm in for it, an still willing to let him barrow my car for the 2 or 3 days hes up here.

Sorry it took so long to respond, I was in Wyoming for a week on vacation.
When I first got the fd, I took it to Les Schwab to get it aligned because it kept pulling off to one side (I don't remember which way, it was like four years ago). Well, I was driving to Wyoming, and I wanted to drive the 7 to let my uncle see it, so I took it to firestone to get it aligned, since the front was off because I rebuilt the steering rack.
They put it up on a lift, and it turns out pretty much all my bushings are shot. Every wheel wheel, except the rear driver side, wiggles a lot. The part that's Les Schwab's fault is, on both of my toe links in the back, the nuts were left loose, so as I was driving, apparently they kept pulling out a little at a time, and stripping the threads. There were some other nuts left loose in the suspension as well, that I never got near. Les Schwab is the people I've had touch my suspension.
Somehow one of my control arms on the rear got bent, too, so that gets to be replaced as well.

Ahh, I had them break off the splines of the axle of one of my old cars removing the hub to replace a wheel stud... Then they tried to charge me for the axle they ruined. It's an odd sight to come back when your car is supposed to be done and see some kid using a large file on your axle...????? They also scratched one of my JDM wheels on the Mazda when I had the tires switched over. Wouldn't recommend going back to a Les Schwab ever

Yeah, I'm definitely never going back there. My grandfather had them do his brakes on his truck. It has a hard line that bolt onto the caliper, and they put it on backwards, so when I turned the wheel all the way to the left, it ripped it and sprayed brake fluid everywhere. I've been hearing a lot of stories like this lately.
Sorry about getting off topic. I'll stop posting about this now.
