You want to add boost and alcohol without tuning? Not a good idea.

If you inject untuned, you will be running rich. It is not a good idea to do meth untuned. Maybe for a couple of days not at full throttle would be OK.

u can do it....but why? so u may even lose power and bad mouth the kit and results...run it to make sure it works when u spray...then get her tuned ...all you do is shoot flames untuned....BIG flames...unless you're a flamer...3rd not to do it and try and compensate by upping boost.

there is not a single engine (power) mod i would do without having it tuned. i'm sure there is some stuff you could get away with, but imo not meth/alky injection esp. when uping the boost! no way...

all you need is a wideband and something to change the afr with.

also, to be totally honest, you can hook it up--make sure its pumping and running right(testing it per the directions) and be fine. you will be running rich as hell, but until 6 months or so ago, thats how lots of tuners tuned alky cars. let it run really rich, used the added octane and lower intake temps as a buffer to up the boost.

in reality, you will be fine. the car won't run at optimal potential though.
