I spend more on Starbuck coffee per month than the evo consumes methanol...lol.
In my opinion, I would not be happy with the marginal gain of maybe 20-30whp with just a 20G-9 turbo on 93 oct. pump gas.
Unless you plan to run race gas (expensive) all the time, alky gives me the ability to go 25+psi and see much larger gains.
My 2 cents.

alky, or rather meth... 2bux a gallon at a local speed shop here... that's right 10bux for 5gal of sunco methanol... if you want to upgrade your turbo save for a real one 
i only plan on upgrading my turbo once.. i don't have that much money to play with... out here in california meth makes a world of difference with 91oct
