I was wondering if u could run 15-20 psi of boost with no intercooler just alcohol injection.
 
pump gas too??? with about 9:1 compression????

Do u have retune the fuel/spark map when injecting alcohol???
 
yes on pump gas as you would if you were running alky on a hot air motor
you have to watch your tune and let the motor tell you when its too much boost and then tune accordingly (see sticky at top of forum)

you would have to do some tune the fuel/timing if chip was burned for 20psi fuel and your desired running boost was 20 psi , but if its a street chip for 93 (would have 17-19 timing and fuel for 15-17psi ) then the fuel might be about right when injecting alky and running at 20-21 psi

if you ran same boost as chip was burned for you would need to lower the fueling by as much as 20% and if you wanted to take the most advantage of the increase octane (detonation control) that alky adds you woud want to increase the timing above what a 93 chip would be , i run as much as 27*(1st 2nd gear ) /24* (3rd 4th gear) on alky with 93
