I just got the AIS fender mount kit, should be relatively similar. on mine there is a little hole for an allen wrench near the area where the vacuum line comes in for the boost activation switch, find the right size allen wrench and you can turn the boost activation switch for the meth to come in at a lower or higher boost level. the instructions will tell you which way to turn the switch depending on if you want the meth to spray at a lower boost level or a higher boost level.

Im not at home, but once im home on monday afternoon i can scan that section of the instructions for you, since the actual switch is kind of one big guess, this is how we tested to see what boost level the meth was spraying; i can take pics of this for you sunday if youd like because me and my buddy are tweaking the setup for the meth to start spraying later. Anyways, on my setup, we took the vacuum line coming from the intake manifold and spliced it, put in t-fitting and ran a vacuum line from this t-fitting to the boost activation switch. So to test when the meth starts spraying we took a mechanical boost gauge (we have randomly built up a stash of random car parts through the past 3 years, if you dont have a mechanical boost gauge theyre like $40 at an autozone and it will come in handy for this and weve used it for several other things in the past year) anyways, we took a mechanical boost gauge and hooked a vacuum line from the gauge and ran it to a t-fitting. we took the vacuum line running to the boost activation switch and hooked it up to the same t-fitting, on the 3rd nipple of this t-fitting we put a vacuum line that wasnt hooked up to anything. we then took his air compressor, bled the pressure in the tank so it wouldnt be a shitload of pressure coming out of the "hose" (not sure the technical name for this, but it has a little handle on it you push to let air out of the nipple, the harder you push the more air that comes out) we took the nipple on the air compressor hose and put it in the vacuum line not hooked up to anything. we then unhooked nylon hose running to the nozzle and just set it in a towel. now take the hose/nipple running into the vacuum line and slowly push the handle to push air through the vacuum line and keep an eye on the boost gauge to see how much pressure there is in the line; slowly push the handle, keeping an eye on the boost gauge and then when the meth sprays you will have a very accurate idea of what boost level the meth is spraying at. tweak with the boost activation switch if you need to and keep repeating this process until the meth is spraying at the boost level you want.

If you need more explanation on this i have no problem reexplaining or making you a diagram in 'paint' until i can take pics

spacer...? are you talking about a throttle body spacer tapped/threaded for a meth nozzle?

That works, or you could do what i did and save the $30 or so that it costs for the throttle body spacer and drill/tap a hole in your intake for the nozzle, both work though, its just up to you as to whether you want to put a whole in your intake in case you want to do something different later, sell it, etc
