How much boost is safe?

[we4Mateo]

...i have a alky kit but just not installed and i didn't want to run it because what if i forget to refill or check the alky.

Don't install it EVER w/out a scanmaster and don't install it if you are EVER worried about forgetting to fill the alky tank. These are cars are way more responsibility than that is.

ok, can anyone link me to scan master, and maybe an article so I can understand what options I have with in the scan master.

I am a pretty good wrench but I don't know everything.

I have just heard a lot of negative about alky kits.... and never having to own one I don't want to f up my motor because I forgot to check it one day.

Go to full throttle speed. They sell scan masters. I run Alky on the street at 25psi of boost. There is a low level light that comes on when its low

Again, if you're afraid you'll forget to check it, don't use it. It's too important to forget about and clearly you are worried about that fact.

I check my alky tank every time I drive the car.

Nope !!! Just a SMART guy checkin stuff BEFORE he goes out to play with it. We do the same with our 3 cars.. All of them are set at a minimum 25#s of boost (Mazda) .. Rest are "around 27/28" I think

I check my alky tank every time I drive the car.

And adding that I check my alky pressures twice per year along with my fuel pressures twice per year...just like brakes, those things all need to work.

lol idk if your being a smart ass or lol

anyways like I said I am not new to cars just new to boost and the GN's so to just dive right in with out knowing shit about the alky was not something I wanted to do.
its not about checking the system, its about understanding it.

Your very smart for waiting. Get the car running perfect on 17# boost with 93 octane then add the Alky. The Alky install is pretty straight forward and isn't hard to use when you read the instructions. Just make sure the tank is full and you hit the test button every time you get in it and drive.
