Water/Methanol Injection system Q: number 99

Ok I have been searching through the articles on the water meth injection systems and have some questions.
1) I have seen much mention about a progressive controller like the one in the Snow kit, being as im kind of electronics and injection dumb (unless its diesel injection or a stereo) Where would I find a controller?
2) I also saw mention of a one way valve to keep boost pressure from going back into the water/meth tank, where would I find one of those, and how big are we talking for the lines from the tank through the valve, and to the nozzle?
3) What is the ideal nozzle for a towing application? Where do I find one of those?
4) Where do you buy straight Methanol? A speed shop? I only want to run pure distilled water and Meth. so windshield washer fluid is out of the question.

oh and Im cheap too. I dont have a budget that includes 500 bucks for a Snows injection kit, so anywhere I can save money, I will!

Thanks guys!

You can order all of the pieces individually from Snow, like the progressive controller and the nozzles and the check valve. Thats what I did and I saved at least $150. I got the pump off of e-bay using the part #'s listed in the above thread.

I made my own system, and I found a good site CoolingMist I got my solenoids, nozzle, and boost switch from them. They have reasonable prices, and timely shipping via FedEx. Give them a shot. I got one of their 15gph nozzles, and if I have the system on, in 1st gear WOT it will sputter and miss with some blue smoke, so its quenching...
