Some folks just run a water/meth kit off of their windshield wiper bottle. The 2gs (maybe 1gs, too) have an idiot light for the wiper bottle level, so if you mod your injection kit to feed off of the wiper bottle, you'll know when to fill it. All I've seen have been water/meth kits, not alcohol. Might need to change your nozzle sizes if you move to water/meth, but it sounds like you've got the system in place to do it.

I've been drooling over the Aquamist systems. They have a kit that uses the injector harness signal to determine how much water/meth to inject. So the water/meth injection tracks your fuel maps. Costs a bunch, but I'd like to do water/meth over FMIC (I'm a sleeper fan).

Make sure you keep the nozzles clean. They clog up over time. I know the aquamist system and others can detect when the nozzles are blocked and can trigger a warning light. If you tune such that you rely on the water/meth kit, you need to know when the kit isn't functioning or you can damage the motor.
Well i dont know the name of the system that I have by heart but it is a full system and u can see my gallery i have pics of it. Well it has a drain line in the trunk to go to the bottom of the car and its mounted on my dashboard. Green light is on when it is purged and yellow light comes on at 16 psi. U can tell when the car come under power with it because it gets a deep tone when it injects

But it sounds like the guy just added to have it on there if he didn't give you any special instructions on the fuel needs of the car or how extreme or safe the tune is.

You might want to call and ask if it's safe without it, or if it has to run to keep the car alive on whatever tuning ( if any ) was performed on the car after it was added.

I just put a devilsown kit on my car and the "blue juice" is a deal at 1-2 bucks a gallon, and as i said before, you can't go wrong using it.

U;timately i will mix my own or just order a case at a time from devilsown, but i'll probably jsut mix it if i can find pure methanol for a good price near here.
I was just going to grab a bottle of the already mixed stuff but there hard to find so im going to mix acetone with this but im going to use distilled water along with it instead of regular water. to much impurities
