no pics to hand but my setup was put on by the previous owner

he used the screenwash tank with vw screenwash (50 percent methanol iirc) pump was mounted by the coil, two microswitches connected to the vac lines switched on at diff boost levels, one sprayed directly onto the IC the other sprayed into the charge line

Just to note- most tracks especially Santa Pod ban direct IC spraying as it makes surfaces very slippy (especially with meth) so you might want to only use that on the road. Methanol is expensive to spray onto the IC though

My pics don't help you much, but I've mounted one jet on the compressor outlet and one at the back of the inlet manifold, 1 litre washer tank mounted where the battery used to sit.

A washer tank will do the job. Im looking at running a 2 tank system, small one in the engine bay and a larger one in the boot.

I have seen a few as well but they might be steel.

I think if its a 50/50 mix it would be ok but not worth the risk, could screw the pump over and if its a 1s the pumps aren't available anymore.

pumps sat next to the fuel pump relay (but im going to move it for gravity purposes) with the jet into the boost pipe near to the slam panel.

its all being ripped out shortly and re-done with new wiring/piping etc.
