the reason the intake pipe is like that is because i have an ion redline...same basis, it's the stock routing path. anywho, i cleaned off the MAF like you said, and yes it was initially wet, along with some drops of water on the inside of the intake pipe. the code has not come back yet, but i am still getting some hesitation. i will find out the size of the nozzle next. thanks
the thing is, the maf works fine after i clean it off/dry it off and reinstall it and don't spray. then right when i spray, i get the code and the hesitation.
thanks to both you guys with your help so far, i do appreciate it.

Additionally, after reviewing your picture where you had the nozzle previously installed, you were spraying directly across from the mass air as I now noticed the mass air flange directly across from it. That had everything to do with your initial problems.
Lets find out what size nozzle you have and go from there?

is the place where the injector is now alright? i also moved the checkvalve to JUST before the injector, so nothing will leak like it probably was before
i'll keep you updated when i find the nozzle size. thanks again

yep you're right, however it didnt look like it would spray at the maf when i had the pipe off, guess i was wrong!

The whole talk about Meth has caught my attention.... So i am considering putting it on the Balt. Can someone please explain to me why this SS/SC has the meth tapped straight into the blower? Any particular reason?

I can answer that for you. That car was mine and at the time of the install we had been waiting on the spacer from CA for 3 weeks and it never did show up lol. And we needed to test the kit ASAP so that's why we did that. Oh and that was the first Cobalt in the world to have that AIS kit lol

No you do not push a button to activate it. Depending on which system you use. It will automatically activate based on a desired boost setting you select or you can use your mass air signal with our Stage 2 progressive system in which you can set start and full points based off of your mass air flow sensor output.

Additionally, with our all new black anodized aluminum tank straps the installation has become even faster. This replaces the previously supplied adjustable rubber straps which were included with each system.

Be sure to check out Cobalt SS forum member "hungryhip-ccp" of Lancaster, CA and his custom 2007 Cobalt SS Click on the link below to see ore pictures of his car as well as a picture of our system in his rear spare tire space.

This system is extremely easy to install. Unlike competitors systems we fully assemble, pre-wire and test each system before it's packaged. Furthermore, since it's all one unit all you need to do is choose a location in your trunk to mount the system.

Gains largely depend on the type of additional modifications and base horsepower to begin with as well as tuning. Typically our member will pick up 15-20 horsepower at the tires. Furthermore, water methanol injection is more then a performance enhancer. It also adds an additional layer of protection against detonation thereby helping to eliminate engine damaging detonation.

For the Cobalt's, its not necessary other then for the look of it. When we start dealing with high horsepower non-intercooled applications over 650 horsepower, we use dual nozzles to better support these engines. With 1000+ applications it's simply mandatory. For one, its for better atomization as we can take one large nozzle such as a 12 or 14 and cut it in half by running two number 6's or 7's. This makes for a better atomization on turbo and centrifugal applications. Two, the motor is making so much horsepower we have to in order to effectively support it.
Additionally, it may be a dual carburetor or dual throttle body application in which needs two nozzle to receive a proper distribution.

We see a lot of discussions going on about water methanol on the forum. If you have questions give us a call or read through some of the many questions already asked to see if your questions has already been answered.
Just a thought, have you pulled the nozzle out and tested it off the engine? If it's clogged or damaged, it might be causing the water to splash instead of mist, which could be causing the problem. Try removing the nozzle from the intake and spraying it. Can't hurt to check it.

Yes you can drop down from your 2.9 to 2.8 running a 50/50 mix of water methanol with at least a size 6 nozzle.
