Default Direct port siphoning

Hi all,

Recently put in 0.5mm jets in 6 intake runners behind the throttle body. Works great but I can tell that my overrun isn't as clean as it was for a split second or so after I close the throttle. I can deal with it, but I know the vacuum is sucking some fluid from the lines. I came back after a pull and saw the lines were not full. Are there any small check valves that Aquamist recommends and is it even worth while? Just another thing to fail. I can deal with it, just looking to see what other people are doing.

Thanks,
Jon

Most kits with port injection use an inline solenoid to prevent liquid being sucked in under vacuum conditions.

would this be a good solution for a m45 supercharged mini

i have my main jet positioned in outlet horn after intercooler in the "approved way"
but have a secondary smaller pre charger feed as well

i have recently had occasional cold start issues [not firing whilst turning over] and was wondering if i was siphoning out too much water [high water ratio as not tuned for meth]
at start up?
