I have tried rotating the flow sensor. I even put the wire for the flow sensor inside of a wire loom and away from other wires.

I believe that the whole idea behind basing on both boost and IDC is to prevent over-injecting when you don't need it, i.e. when boost is high but the car is still in the middle rpm range.
The optimum setting would be slight different for each car (different mods/tune, etc.). The only way to really know is to tweak the dial and datalog and repeat until you're happy. If you want to try something, try turning it slightly counterclockwise toward the boost bias.
FWIW, some methanol/water injection kits are based solely on boost pressure and don't have the ability to monitor IDC.

Was looking at this forum again and was wondering , some of you guys talked about moving the location around for the jet. Has anyone come up with a yay or nay on location. I was thinking more towards the radiator myself ???
I have had the kit mounted and ready to test for over 6 mths but have not had the time to set it up since I'm out of town for work.
I might get a 2 week window the end of the month and was going to finish the install.
Any advice on what you have found would be helpful....

Dang, 6 months!! You deserve a trophy or something!
Seriously, you basically have three options:
1.) Install in the bend of the hard pipe next to the dipstick.
Pros: Easy to install and easy to service.
Cons: ??
2.) Install in the same hard pipe but as close as you can get to the intercooler.
Pros: Give more time for charge air cooling effects for tunes that factor in IAT. For the Manic tune the placement before or after the T-MAP does not matter (from what I've read).
Cons: Harder to install and harder to service.
3.) Install in the intake manifold or intake manifold spacer such as the Koala from Cravenspeed.
Pros: More even injection into each cylinder.
Cons: More complicated installation with more parts. People are working on a setup like this but I'm not sure if anyone has actually completed and tested it.

Thanks guys , Sorry for late response. I was thinking a little further towards the FMIC like Cpap. I have a 45 JMC turbo sitting in the garage waiting to get installed. Thanks for the heads up needing it to move with a bigger turbo Cpap
cerenkov - I don't think a trophy is in order , I think a new job with more time off is in order...lol I'm taking a month off in April when this job is over so I can fine tune my mini..!!
thanks again guys

Valves have never been cleaned idles and runs like a dream at 138k km's. Best fuel economy I've seen 6.1 ltrs per 100km(sorry too lazy to convert to miles and gallons).

The lower light should only come on by itself during a low water level event. It will first be intermittent and will stay solid if the condition remains for greater than 20 seconds. (Mine starts coming on at about 1/4 full). Since it happens during acceleration as you'd expect if the level is actually low (but yours is full) makes you wonder if yours is defective or maybe the level sensor needs adjusting.
I'd contact Jeff at Howerton (if you purchased it from him) or Richard at Aquamist maybe they can tell you how to adjust the sensor.
