Just to share a little of my experience,
On my 99 I had the BEGi-S and their FMU... added IC and 305 injectors and did nothing to control timing.
Started to run E85 about 50/50 at first and then started to go 60/40 E85:93 gas mix. Ran 11PSI all day long in summer with no knock.
If you can run E85, I encourage you to try since it will kill the knock while you wait for an ECU solution.
Ran like this for over a year with no issues. All on a 99 with an auto!
Cheers,
Prospero

I may very well do that. I was looking at the Cooling-Mist kist for 200 bucks on ebay. Also, I was thinking of maybe doing direct port W/I, I used to run direct port nitrous on this car and I could pull the pipe thred plugs out of my manifold and put the W/I nozzles in pretty easily
There was a WI thread around here somewhere showing a 4-into-1 WI fitting thing that would work for the manifold. Search around and you will find the thread.
Unless you get a smoking deal on a drop-in IC kit (no fab, like BEGI, FM, or TDR) then this will be a lot easier and cheaper IMO.

Yeah if they are 1/8" NPT (looks like it) then you are set. All you need is a manifold to split the flow to the nozzles. You still only need one check valve. Just get a DO kit (comes with two nozzles you select), two extra 1 gpm nozzles, a manifold, and run it off of the washer fluid bottle, which is big enough for now. The DO nozzles screw in from the outside. Done
