This is to reduce the velocity of the air charge which gives more time for the methanol to atomize. We also went for the most gradual bend as possible, utilizing as much the available real-estate as possible. Under the charge pipe (not shown) is a bug for the Meth pump pressure switch. On the top are two jet adapters for the Aquamist jets. Our fabricator will be making 30 more this week. Including versions for the N55 which is identical minus the bypass valve flanges.

Show top to bottom:
-Stock charge pipe with meth elbow
-My old Riss Racing charge pipe (with some ahem... modifications)
-Prototype Vishnu Large-and-in-Chargepipe with methanol mods



Also in the process of getting the methanol kit brackets manufactured. Here is the bracket which olds the pump to the frame rail:



Should have final production pics of the Meth kit + Charge pipe later this week.
