This is getting installed tomorrow!
I actually find the install very rewarding and enjoyable - to me its just as much fun as banging a hot girl only the aquamist kit does not nag afterwards LOL
Seriously though my passion is for working on and modfiying cars. As such, it is the process of actually doing the work that I enjoy. I could understand how some users may be put off by the complexity of the Aquamist installation but trust me in the end the functionality of the system is vastly superior to any other and well worth the extra effort.
One more note - care and effort spent in your install pays off with a leak free and reliable system for years to come - take time and do not be in a rush.

x1000000 Its all about the buildup! Maybe thats the engineer in me
When I am done building up and my list is dry I sell.
Take care to leave a bit of slack in the wire behind the gauge. That way if you want to modify your gauge at all you will have some room to work on it.
For example you can customize several aspects of the kit by removing certain components on the back of the circuit board for the gauge. If you leave some extra wire you will be able to work on the gauge without having to un-wire anything.

Do you have any travel plans to SoCal? I know there are a number of us here who would be interested in having you install this kit on our Evos.
The best part is that I don't have to do the 14.8 psi conversion in my head anymore..lol. The oil temp reads F instead of C as well. I need to install the temp sensor still. Today I will wire in the Aquamist gauge and clean up my wiring. It's a mess right now. If I have time after that, I will mount the sensorts in my 4 qt. tank. Oh and to those who don't know about the STRI gauges. They are really nice for the price.
nozzle selection is critical. sense your still on stock turbo, and hopefully stock injectors, you will want only one nozzle. figure out how much methanol you want to run (100%, 50%, 25%, 0%, or anything in between) first. next, decide how much boost you want to run. 28-30psi can be had on stock turbo peak, and with a good boost controller you can hold 24psi by redline. if you don't want to run that much boost, smaller nozzles are fine. but for 28+ i would go with a single 1mm nozzle with a higher % of methanol, say 50+ meth then water. i run a single .9mm nozzle running 100% water currently at 26psi holding 24psi at redline, but thats also because i have 650 injectors and don't see super high duty cycles. with the stock injectors i would run a single .8mm nozzle if injecting water.
the more methanol you run, the lower your duty cycles will be, and with the HFS-5 it will require you to increase the nozzle size to get the same flow rate, thats why a 1mm nozzle is better for meth mixes.
if you do a bigger turbo, then two nozzles will help out.
hope that helps
