Meth/H20 Injection

Either one should work just fine, I found that a place near work sells methanol by the litre so I might give that a go, most likely a bit cheaper than buying metho in 5l bottles from Bunnings.
Another recommendation is the use of de mineralised water rather than just usual tap water.

Edit....oops just realised I left the m of my earlier post, typed ethanol, instead of methanol. I think the reason methanol is the more popular choice in the US is the cost factor, I believe it is substantially cheaper than ethanol (methylated spirits).

They recommended methanol for more consistent results, however it is incredibly poisonous so working with it is a bit dangerous (10ml will blind you 30ml will kill you and the fumes aren't great for you either). As for water probably depends where you live, I think Melbourne water was good enough. The water here in Canberra tastes different and I am less sure about using.

I guess a lot of it comes down to what your expectations are of the kit, my goal was more so the chemical inter-cooling benefits, and a bit of peace of mind that the higher octane will aid in preventing knock (hence the 60w:40m ratio I use). If you are tuning around the meth, which I would NOT recommend with these entry level kits, then product consistency is a major issue.

I'm not planning to run anything crazy because I need to keep my stock internals for a while so its more for cooling and cleaning then anyhting else.

Whats the main difference between these entry level kits and the serious ones?

[MattMPS3]

Serious kits have flow meters in them, if they detect under a certain amount of flow (e.g blocked nozzle) they can trigger a switch, this could be a warning light, or in more extreme cases, can automatically open the wastegate, or switch tuning maps on the ECU to a more conservative (non meth ) tune, or all of the above.

Yeah you would need to a pretty fancy unit one with ways of detecting loss of pressure, flow and any other failures before you'd tune Meth in. I know that if I tuned it in on my car I could have an extra 7kw but if it ever failed or I forgot to fill it up etc. etc. the engine would do damage to itself. Not really worth the risk. Im starting to consider swapping to one of those variable controllers. Atm I only hit 10psi when I put the foot down hard so I barely use the kit ever, although it is good to know its there when I need it.
