Screw it, just throw a 35 dry shot on it.

By the time it got sprayed into the turbo and made it to the MAF sensor would it not be vapor?

One actually knows what he's talking about... HA haaaaaaaaaaa...

Do NOT spray methanol, water, or petrol before the MAF... if SD go for it...

but before the MAF and you're screwed... That's why we go to so much trouble to do remote IAT sensors after the MAF so you can spray after the MAF but before the IAT sensor. MAF sensors do NOT like any of these, period...
however give it a try if you need to see for yourself...

I had my doubts about it working. I've seen what water in the intake does.

I am going with a 35 dry shot.

the maf elements are heated wires. it does not make sense to me to inject pressurized meth/fuel with compressed air to it

Methanol doesn't auto ignite until 878*F and a MAF is only at 212*F higher than ambient temperature (100*F outside = 312*F).

With my IAT's above ambient with a #15 nozzle, I decided to add a second #15 nozzle. Before the second nozzle, on a 90° evening, the IAT's were ~133° by the end of the 1/4mi. I have yet to log the car, but I will soon and will share my findings.
