Pump just make sure it is somewhere out of the way and in as cool a spot as possible. Keeping it out of the "direct" engine bay is ideal but it can be done inside as well.
The nozzle you want as far from the TB as possible but after the intercooler, hence the intercooler exit. Gives the methanol more time to atomize and cool the air charge and allows for a more even distribution.
You said you will be using a megasquirt, that will need to be tuned. If you will be using a stock ECU then a 10gph nozzle might be too big, might want to start with the 7gph and see how it does and also might have to add water to the mix to keep AFR's in check. A wideband will be needed to see what needs to happen and dyno time would be ideal but on the stock ECU it would just be a bonus.

the intercooler wont be installed for awhile to come so on the stock turbo tube theres a 90 degree bend right befor the tb or i could but the nozzle pre turbo since the inter cooler wont be going on for a few months after i get the tuebo swap running and mega squirt is gone be more around xmas time

As long as it is a newer style pump, yes 100% meth should be fine. Just make sure it is truly pure methanol with no top end lube or other additives in it.
#247
Some of the older pumps used different seals that would not handle 100% methanol long term. Just depends on how old it is. If it is an aquatech then you are fine for sure. Most likely even the shurflow will be fine unless the kit is really old.

No it's not. They just stick their lable on it like most meth injection companies. They all use the same pump now days. The older pumps they used were verious versions of the shurflow 8000 series. Some worked great with 100% methanol, others only liked 50/50.
They then swapped over to the aquatech a few years ago which is fine with 100% meth in all versions. If you look at pictures of modern kits that is an aquatech pump, if yours looks like that then you are fine.

It can, if it has the right seals. The early models have bama or Viton seals which were only good for 50/50 meth and even that was not a long term option really.
Then they switched to EPDM which is 100% meth compatible later. All the aquatechs come with EPDM seals.

I do agree with selling what you have and buying from scratch but you don't need a stage 3, just get the kit I linked to earlier, it will more then handle what you need for now. Later if you find you need more you can always upgrade. I prefer the devils own solenoids anyways.
#256
By the seals it has, which is hard to know after the fact. All the newer pumps have the correct EPDM seals, just the older ones that didn't.
#258
Sometimes, can try searching but you can get the same pump with different seals. Best idea is to ask coolingmist, they may have never used the wrong seals. Not all the companies did, just some of them.

When I still had the T25 on my CA18 I ran a full 3" turbo back exhaust. Didnt make a huge power difference over my 2.5" (6whp 2wtq on dyno dynamics) but the difference in my spool was well worth it. I was making full 15psi in 1st gear where I wouldnt usually make more than 11-12psi peak hold according to my EVC6. Really cut down my E.T.'s too
