For what its worth that methanol bung will not work. It's way too tall. It needs to be 1/4" or shorter to allow a proper spray pattern.

Yeah I don't think it will be to bad but I feel as if it will create back pressure. I'm gonna get it installed soon. Since you work with pipes I take it you know that it won't cause issues ?

I Used Cx Racing Fmic In My 300zx Tt And I Was Shocked As To How Good It Performed, It Even Out Performed My Prior Greddy Fmic. (my Z Makes 610whp) This Being Said, I Feel Confident In There Products. But Based On Mikes Comments, I Wouldnt Pay Even $50.00 For It.

Just look at the difference between the ER CP + the CX Racing CP
While they are both pipes, you'll see how the meth bungs & the TB connection are significantly different. I've never been a fan of the silicone pipe to connect to the TB since that's just another weak spot for a boost leak to develop & while I don't run meth, you've got 2 reputable people commenting on how the CX Racing meth bung is no good. Yea it sucks spending $300 on a piece of metal when there's a $100 option out there, but you're gonna be even more pist when you find out that "budget" option doesn't even work |

I've heard negative things about the stock TB connection and how that can leak during higher boost and that a silicone TB connection is a better option.
Stett Ets Vishnu All use silicone TB connections |
