Is it possible to run a methanol injection kit on a 2012 Golf TDI? This is the kit I want to use: http://www.coolingmist.com/pagedisplay.aspx?pid=250psidieselkit&feature_key=Diesel
Yes, and many people here run W/M.
There are tons of threads on the topic here if you do a search.

I see on your planned upgrades you plan to do APR stage 1 & also a DPF delete. That isn't going to work out very well.
With the generic kit that you are thinking about I have no idea. I thinkAlso, if running W/M injection, would i have to tune for it?
It is 100% safe when installed and run correctly. I got my snow kit form vr-speed.com for 550. That's the cheapest I could find it.ywa malone tuning has a dpf delete file. I found the snow performance kit last night. how safe is it to run W/M injection?
Wow, I hit 1000 F often. During regens, I have seen 1400 F a couple times in 6th gear with a heavy foot. Is that really as bad as it sounds? That's how it's been from the factory (2013 Premium Jetta Sedan 6MT) with ~8000 miles.
That's a solenoid, there's also a second one before the injectors.Are they still encouraging people to mount the solenoid between the pump and tank, or is that a filter?
Devil's Own recommends running a solution of CLR through every 6 months if you are running less than perfect fluid. I wonder if a Brita/PUR/etc would stand up to washer fluid?Beaware of washer fluid. Not all of it made with distilled water and can cause deposits on the nozzles, and also can lead to mineral build up in the oil. Not saying it going to cause problems right way or that you can not occasionally use it.
Great source for methenal is at go carts race tracks, drag strips, etc where they burn it for fuel., buy it 5 gallons at a time, then mix it with distilled water from you local super market.
The solenoid by the tank is the "main" one, which stops the mix from draining since if you install the nozzles as per their directions, the nozzles are below the tank. I had my nozzles installed above the HP EGR, so it can not drain, even if the solenoid fails.Why? redundancy?
Repeatedly inhaling methanol fumes can blind you, liquid is readily absorbed through your skin, and it is really nasty stuff. I bought a special respirator for when I brew bio-d. Handle it carefully..Be careful with pure methanol as well, as it will burn with almost no visible flame. The blue flame is hard to see during the day. The heat would probably be your first evidence of fire. It does look really sweet in a firepit at night though.
