If you continue to read the thread there is some explanation to why it could have happened. Many factors didn't help. Still I would be very prudent to do it right.

Rodney at AIS told me they installed about 3-400 pre-compressor system, and they never saw yet one that caused damage.

I didn't knew 1800cc was the limit! What size pump ? 220psi ?

I would be around 1500-1600ml/min, glad I have a custom tank of 2.75g

most (standard) kits , using a 150-200 psi pump IIRC

just make sure yours can flow enough

Might want to get this:

250psi Methanol-Water Recirculation Pump

Or run two!

Great thread guys!

Yeah bigger pressure = better atomization!

it has been stated by many sources that spraying it before an intercooler should not be done as it will cause water to condense in the intercooler.

2. Pre-Intercooler Injection

While pre-intercooler injection may at first seem like a logical approach. Thereby, combining the effects of water methanol injection within the air-to-air intercooler for an increased synergistic effect. It is not so. Matter of fact, it's the opposite. The cooling effects and benefits offered by the water methanol injection are less when injected here then in all other locations. Further, more other issues arise such as puddling which can form in the bottom of the intercooler. Additionally, pour atomization will occur as the fluid will accumulate in the individual air to air intercooler core walls of the intercooler forming larger droplets which will eventually break away resulting in pour atomization. We do not recommend pre-intercooler injection.
