So would you reccomend that I buy it directley from SNOW, because I live in colorado. The reason I am debating this is because I can save 200 dollars if I buy it from the company that wants to sponsor my car.

So, for the people running the snow kit, where did you mount everything. Thanks.

I'd get it the cheapest place. Snow will have to charge you tax.

As for mounting, I'm using the small 2 quart container in the back trunk on the passenger side. Eventually I will be using the STi tank. I'd really like to purchase the spec C tank but thats $200. The pump is mounted next the spare tire with the tube inlets facing up. It screws to the flat panel in the spare tire compartment. The tube runs along the passenger side. I have the fail safe and main controller mounted on the passenger fender. I zip tied the two together and only had to drill 4 holes in the fender. The system runs off a relay with a switch inside. Easy to do just time consuming. Be sure to get enough tubing. The NitroBooster stuff really works too!

this isnt the snow kit, but you can get the concept.





Aquamist WI 2d complete kit, with the race pump and high-speed valve
Aquamist DDS3 blue bar water injection monitoring system.



race pump is down there... this is where the hispeed vave goes




used the stock intercooler sprayer for the tank, you have to wire in the level censor, so you know when it is getting low.




hi speed valve installed




lots of wireing to go to the Utec






DDS3, it is a flow meter, lets you know how much is in the tank, on/off switch, waning light, and it has more fetures but i cant remember what they are.

Hey Rodent, I see that yout are located in Colorado. I just installed an FP 20g and had it tuned by adam at Revolutions. He did an amazing job and I am very happy. How do you like the meth. ALso, how many miles do you get to the 2l tank of meth. Thanks.

I have the Snow Performance resevoir mounted in my trunk on the rear drivers side. Pump is mounted on the trunk floor also on the driver's side. Doesn't seem to get in the way much.

I'm liking it. 24 psi of boost with injection is nice. Adam tried to get more out of my FP Red but it wasn't happening with my 7cm housing. May go 8cm soon. As for mileage, just depends on how much I get on it. Anything past 7psi and it will activate.

For some reason my fail safe is triggering mounted on the side. If I mount it flat, it works fine so I may do a bracket and rotate it so its flat. This is the 2nd failsafe I got from Snow and according to Greg, it shouldn't matter. I have to give Adam props for my tune. He spent the whole day tuning mine and I was impressed that he took the time with mine. You're more than welcome to come by and see the setup in person.

How much did he chareg you for install for the meth kit. Also did you do the stage 2 or the stage 2 maf kit. What were your gains with meth, or did you not get dynoed before it. Thanks.

It was awhile ago, but if I remember right it was like 4hrs labor at the shop rate. I went with the standard kit (Stage 2 I believe, not MAF) with Safe Injection option. I picked up 7 peak whp and 11 peak wtorque. There was a gain across the entire curve and boost came on quicker. This was also just on the stock turbo. So with a bigger turbo I am sure the gains would be quite a bit more.
