OK, no doubt the Aquamist systems can not compete IF IF $$ spent is THE criteria that decides the purchase.......its just that simple. So as a F.Y.I. I will say that its the exchange rate between the dollar and the pound/Euro AND the use of components that are an issue. The components in the Aquamist kits do not make comprimises in quality in order to keep the price down.

Without going into a LONG explanation of the kit components, the Aquamist HFS-X series kits contain the DDS3 (which is the key part of failsafe control) and the pump is a 150 big boy pump not a smaller pump tweaked for higher output, its rated for 150 by Shurflo but in the Aquamist kit its output is 125 = we are not pushing it, it will last a LONG time and give the user the best long term performance for the $$ spent.

With regards to methanol and kit component reliability, near to pure or as close to 100% pure methanol is the deciding variable involved. Methanol with additives such as VP M3 or M5 for example are sold as methanol yet these have additives that will over time (when is not exact) cause component failure. VP M1 is for example the methanol to be used.......and this is not unique to Aquamist OR any other brand kit.

For failsafes, its a very important thing to consider the failsafe and how well it works if you are looking at tuning fuel trims and replacing whats been removed with whats being injected by a W/A kit. A couple of kit makers are using failsafes.....the buyer needs to LOOK closely at how it works and how effective it will be in a situation where a failure can cause catasphic engine damage.

Yesterday I again spoke with another professional tuner who has moved to selling, installing, and tuning Aquamist kits. The tuners get blamed for failures yet are using parts that do not work like they should OR are tuning cars with components that are not up to the task at hand already installed. The tuners know whats what and they see what works and what doesn't......trust me on this.

HP above stock and pushing a car for better performance is no game if lots of dollars are on the line. Many tuners who understand W/A are no longer willing to be aggressive with seeking best power IF the W/A kit being used is one of those low cost kits.

Kit buyers/owners need to understand that just as with any performance part, quality dictates the game rules, skimp on this and the tuner may just tell you sorry but with that kit my tune is only going to be at XXX on the dyno and if you had used a good quality kit my tune would have been at ZZZZ, so yes you saved money but you did not get the results you could have got by being smarter with the spent money.
