Snow Performance Safe Injection Integrated into SMC kit!
After waiting over a year for SMC to come out with a new contoller with a built in safety I gave up putting my baby at risk w/o a failsafe. I bought the Snow Performance Safe Injection with upgraded Boost Controller solenoid and I am now using it successfully with the SMC kit. The problem that I encountered was that the safe injection is not designed for 100% duty cycle. It should only be armed when the pump is spraying. Simple Right? Just wire it into the trigger for the pump? Wrong! The SMC kit uses a progressive ground for the pump trigger and the Snow kit uses a 12V tigger. To get around this I bought a Hobbs Switch (pressure switch) http://www.alliedelec.com/Search/Pro...B6A1802726617F. This activates the ciruit at 15 PSI. It is adjustable from 14-21PSI. The correct switch is the normally open one in the link. This works because it arms the safe injection after the pump is already spraying and before dangerous boost levels. In addition to the Safe Injection, you will need a 3/8 (I believe) AN fitting to adapt the braided line from the pump into the Safe Injection Box. You will also need a few feet of the plastic hose that SNOW uses. You will use this to replace your SS line to the nozzle. At the nozzle you will need a push in fitting that you can buy from SNOW. You can adapt this to the SMC nozzle assembly with a coupler from any harware store. I am not going to go into the exact instruction for the Safe Injection. It is all included in the package. Bottomline is that is works. Can be used with a MBC or a bleed type boost solenoid. I do not see why it would not also work with an external gate. There is a bit more to the install when it comes to the solenoid and such but all that is in the directions.Hope this help anyone in the same situation. Big thanks to Dan at Ultimate Collision for getting all the Snow parts that I needed in a timely fashion.
P.S. That ghetto mounted relay was only for testing! Not needed in the end.

Evotech,
Congrats on your new failsafe. You did an excellent job posting this specific setup. Ironically I have been PMing people about this component. I was aware of this snow fail safe component and I almost incorporated into my system(SMC as well).
I am happy that you wrote this post, I have been also waiting and waiting. This looks like an feasible and affordable alternative for those like us running the SMC.
