Starting more mods soon - need input
So I'm to a point where im ready to start doing some more work on the 850. By spring, I plan on having the manual swap done, running a front mount, adding bigger injectors, and getting the ADR tune. I'm also considering running methanol injection. Anyone have any input on the methanol injection? Also, what front mounts have people run here? I've already upgraded the turbo, put in n/a cams, put in the MSD ignition, got the exhaust, and done an air intake.
Any other suggestions for performance mods would be welcome as well. thanks in advance.

Definately add the injections. Its amazing the difference with the intake charge cooled. I went with Aquamist but the pump failed awhile ago so I purchased the SnowPerformance pump and yanked the Aquamist pump and electrical out. Right now I only use the Aquamist pressure switch and flow gauge, everything else is relays/switches. I am very happy with the snowperformance pump, works fantastic. Having pretty much both systems if I had to do it again I would probably not purchase a kit but would part it out. You need the pump, jet, pressure switch, tank tap(if your going to use your washer tank) and fittings. Most can be purchased here.

Your going to have to do your homework to determine if its cheaper to purchase the part separately or buy a kit. I am not advising either way, you decide.
What is pricey is the flow meter. Some of the benefits to the DS3 aquamist system is the fluid management, there are sensors that provide how much fluid. But again, that can be wired without it using relays and lights.
I feel like I am rambling.

Just a side note for the Auto to Manual...I am headed to the track tonight so I should be able to report the difference tomorrow. Totally noticeable difference.

Have you done any suspension mods? I highly recommend you do. Especially if you plan to do any AutoX or racing of any kind.
- IPD Sway bars
- IPD Heavy Duty sway bar links (Or another competetors)
- Strut bar (OMP if you can find it)
- KONI Yellows or KONI FSD's or Bilstein HD's
- Lowering springs (KW Coilovers a plus!, H&R, Etc...)
I'd also think of stopping power. Your upgrading the speed of the car now is the time to upgrade the stopping power as well. I'd go with a BBK (Big Brake Kit) there are many on the market.

Ibified, lucky has a methanol kit on his car. He should be able to tell you about tuning for it. What do you want out of the kit? Do you want more fuel, decrease EGTs, decrease IATs? Do you have a budget? How much do you know about them?
