Whats wrong with Buschur alcohol kits

The thing about these kits is that as we continue to use them on the evo and give Steve specific Evo feedback he has worked with us to change them and modify them to suit our needs. In a short period of time we have made some very significant improvements - such as a pump that requires no lube and which can pump water mix, and also a flexable pump mounting system, to name just a few.
It is regretable that this clitch occured on the SMC kit - but everyone effected will be made whole and the units continue to be fully warrantied.
Just for reference - I use the same exact off the shelf SMC / Buschur alcohol kit in my 9.98 race Evo and I have not had any problems what so ever

ok so heres my question, say we have this faulty box, are we able to find out if we have a bad one before this happens? all i need is my car tuned on pump with methanol and the thing fail and ping ping ping boom there gos my motor i just had built, so is he taking them back before they go faulty????
look, have you hooked it up? in not, HOOK IT UP.
you don't even have to install it to hook it up...just hook it all up outside the car(you gonna have to cut and splice wires to hook it up again though) and see if it works. Nobody has had a problem with the kits if they were working to begin with...so if its working now, its not gonna fail.

i didn't say hook it up to a battery did i? i said, hook it up! you can hook the entire system up without running all the wires through the firewall and putting the tank in place(thats what takes all your time). Then, turn the key on and see what it does......
Where did i see "rig" it to the battery and "test" it? I did not.

From what i have read, the ones that have failed, FAILED right away. And i said RE-splice the wires...as in, they come with butt connectors already and you splice into the wire coming through the firewall, if you do this outside the car, you will have to RE CUT and RE splice new butt connectors.
Did you guys get the same nozzle as mine? I was told that this nozzle is suppose to be mounted on the bottom of the intake and spray upwards towards the sky instead of into the throttle body like the older ones pictured in the dynoflash install pics. I drew out a image showing where the nozzle is suppose to sit on the intake pipe(black line).

Whould putting a gauge to monitor the pressure and to know when it sprays and dont help?
It seem to be a good way to see if everything function up to the supposed level.

That is where I got the impression that it takes a day or two for the problem to show up.

Ive spoken with several people and they have all failed pretty much right away. Mine has been fixed thanks the SUPERB cutomer service at SMC, Steve is a class act. I have spent an hour or 2 at least on the phone with him the last few days trying to troubleshoot....never experienced such good customer service on a product before, EVER.
Thanks again Steve!

I just bought the coolingmist system and plan to use the UTEC to control the flow solonoid.
