Default Procharger plenum and meth ???

So I just got my snow performance methanol kit in the mail yesterday and I had them send me a aluminum bung for their nozzle.
I would like to place this on the opposite side as the AIT sensor. Would this be a good place to put the nozzle?

I'd put it in the front of the plenum if I were you. That way, the IAT sensor will register it better. Also, that should provide the best path. Look at 'Trust's setup..

So if I cant put the nozzle in the front because of the hood latch hook frame would this be a good place?

Any one want to throw in their $.02 on this placement if I can't mount it in the front of the plenum.

Can you not put it anywhere in the front? Like even if its offset to the side one way or the other? If not, I'd probably put it as shown in your last pic..

Beat me to it Chad! My nozzle doesn't stick out more than the tab does in front of the plenum, I'd be surprised if it doesn't clear.

On that note, I ordered an extra nozzle from Alkycontrol, I'll probably still plumb the front and get the center hold welded up.

Thanks a bunch guys. Didn't think about that option. Now 2 more questions for ya, having the meth nozzle that close to the IAT sensor won't hurt it? Where could I find a bung for the IAT sensor reloction program?

The meth will maybe eventually eat away at the IAT sensor, but no more than if the IAT sensor was anywhere downstream of it anyways. Even if/ when it does finally render the IAT sensor bad, just get another from Oreilley, they are like what? $10.. cheap price to pay to be able to monitor your IATs after meth.

As far as relocating the IAT, for one, you can either cap the existing hole with a 3/8 NPT plug (sold at lowes or home depot), or just get it welded up. To add a bung on your pipe in the new place, you can buy a 3/8 NPT bung already to weld in, or what I did was get a spacer from lowes that is for a 1/2" bolt. It was 1" long, ID was 1/2" and OD was like either 3/4 or 7/8, somethin along those lines. Then, I cut the spacer down to about 3/8" long and tapped it with a 3/8" NPT tap, and welded it onto my pipe.
