This is the first FAQ post I've read on this subject and it's been informative. Although, there are still a few question I need answers to. Forgive me if these questions have been answered and just tell me to keep searching and I will.

1. Is there a 'BEST' EM to run this with? I have a single mode ECUTEK (no high boost de-frost button mode). I am remotely thinking of getting away from ECUTEK and getting the AP Street Tuner. Will that EM support alky injection?

2. Is there a concern that the alcohol will evaporate out over an extended period? My daily driver is seldom in boost. When I do play it's just occassional bursts unless I go to autocross events once every three months. Is there a certain alcohol content that needs to be maintained?

3. The most important question of all - how does this affect SMOG CHECK???
a. Since most smog check stations don't have 4-wheel dynos, they will rev up and check emissions. If the boost doesn't get to 5-7 psi (no engine load) then, the alky doesn't flow right? Is there a danger in that? I assume not, since there is no boost, but will the smog sensors read a rich mix and therefore cause a failed check?

4. If running catless, does this get rid of the unburnt exhaust gas smell. I assume not at idle.

5. If exhaust gasses are colder, will I see full boost a little later than without alky?

6. It seems like you will only save fuel (increase mpg) when the alky is flowing, is this the case?

7. Are any of these question that important to anyone else.....

Thanks in advance and excuse the noob questions...
