That "Could be Fatal" warning is ominous!

can the nozzle be installed just AFTER the throttle body? My car has already a thread for this just after the throttle body at the intake manifold.

Konstantin - Please contact me with your information to process your order. Mounting the nozzle after the TB requires a stainless steel solenoid otherwise it will siphon at Idle. The failure mode on these isn't good and reduces the robustness of the system.

Dave Elden - Please call me. I need to clarify some information and I don't have your phone #.

What would be the best practical way to attach nozzle in our cars? David Salama, how did you do it? Any photos or explanation would be useful.

I was wondering how folks would deal with the following situation. You tune for a nice AFR for injection and then you run out of fluid for the injector. At WOT this will happen rather fast.

There are a couple things to help combat this. One is a fluid level switch with an indicator light on the dash. Other options would be another switch that would kill the boost level with water wasn't flowing. Snow has the first, I believe Aquamist has the second.
I for now will make sure the tank is full...

Just got off the phone with Matt @ Snow Performance. All the kits were mailed out on Friday and a couple this past Monday. They should be arriving today for some and a couple of days from now for others.

I again asked about nozzle location. I expressed an interest in mounting mine on the outlet of the intercooler for a couple of reasons; I have thin alum. intercooler pipes with my Kokeln intake. The intercooler would give me a good source for drilling and threading and much easier to plug if I wanted move it closer. Matt stated it should do fine, maybe loose a little cooling effect traveling the distance to the throttle body and intake manifold. I think I may try it there first.

Received my kit today. Looks like a complete kit with all hoses, relays, switches necessary to do the job right. I like the quick connects on the water tubing..

Soooo, Now that I have this assembled in my office, how to get them apart? J/K, I only have one connected, but it does seem kinda permanent.

Instructions? oh, ya, just a minute..

I got mine too.
Seems to be pretty decent parts, it might have the mother of all waterpumps. Physically same size as some cars startermotors!

I'll see if I can install it this weekend.

Great, glad everyone is getting them as promised. My wife said mine came in yesterday also but I am a couple of days from being home.

DanD, BoostGuy951, or HRK,,try to post this weekend if you get them installed. What is going to be your target boost,,17-20psi? What octane are you going to run? What is everyone going to run in the tank for fluid?

For the moment I am not going to make other modifications to the engine or boost. Currently I have 0.8 bar according to factory gauge. I am installing aftermarket gauge to confirm my boost. Car has been running fine for 15000 miles in more than a year.

I think this more as added safety. Octane same 91-93 what they sell around here and fluid windshield washer fluid mixed with water.
I am interested whether I notice any difference before and after installation. Cool humid morning runs feel quite fast...

Once installed, give us some impressions.

I should have joined in on the group buy, but you snooze you loose. I'll just have to pay more.
