Aquamist HFS-5 system: Official Q&A...
To all those that are using the Aquamist system. What other modifications are you doing to take advantage of the WI system? Are you just increasing you maximum boost, or are you re-flashing to remove fuel dumping during acceleration? Are you happy with the results? Which vendors know how to properly re-flash w/ a WI system.
The aquamist system sounds like it could be good start to some real performance improvements but before I start down this road I would really appreciate some feedback from those of you that have already done it. I blew two 4g63s in my old Eclipse and I just want to make sure that any mods that I do on my EVO don't reduce reliability. (In other words, I want to make my EVO more fun, but if I blow the engine my wife will shoot me.)

ok thanks for the info, I will not be plugging up the third port, instead I will be using it. I want my solenoid to be set up like I show in the following link.

If for some reason the DDS3 has lost its power supply, it will not be able to perform the fail-safe action.
Hey Richard, in your diagram I think you have the MBC installed the wrong way, the turbo side should have the ball blocking it. The ball should not be blocking the wastegate side. This way the compressed air is pushing up against the ball.
Other than that the diagram is great and very helpfull.
Also, I plan on installing a switch that will allow me to run high boost even with teh HFS5 switched off. The following diagram illustrates how I plan to wire the switch, can you tell me if you think there is anything wrong with this.

Richard, check your email. I need a part for shift_fast's Evo. The jet adapters are very thin and are not made of brass as the instructions state. Consequently one of them broke.
One of the other things I noticed, speaking of backwards diagrams was the high speed valve which had a sticker that indicated a flow arrow pointing in the wrong direction.

TTP, how many jet adapters do you need? If you can send me an email tonight with your full shipping address, I'll send what you need USPS priority tomorrow morning.

I believe Jack has them in stock, he will look after you on this side of the Atlantic. The adaptor is thin due to the closeness of the two thread depth1/8BSP and M8. I have mentioned exercising care when tightening especially the hole is threaded with a tapered 1/8 NPT. After loctited, the fitting will last a long time.
The Part is made of Brass but nickel plated so it is quite confusing in appearance.
The output side of the HSV is the longer side. I am surprised about the sticker pointing in the wrong direction. Please take a picture of this if possible for me.
Here is a drawing of a over-ride switch that will allow high boost when DDS3 is switched off:
