WMI suggestions

It's time for Buzz to get a WMI kit, and I'm looking for suggestions.

Also: tank in the back of the car vs. using the washer tank?

Meth is a hell of a drug

About two months back I added an AEM WMI kit.

I chose AEM for the following reasons:
• Easily adjustable progressive injection rate
• tank location/modularity
• integrated failsafe
• control unit design
• budget

More importantly, it didn’t involve splicing into my DME. Besides that, for the price, I figured I could take a chance and if it fails, it fails.

So far it has performed really well. The difference is very noticeable, you can watch the IAT drop as the WM kicks on. Initially I was using the 500cc jet which was probably way too much, but have since switched to 250cc. I also went through 1 gallon of “Boost Juice” before deciding to just mix my own 60/40 with distilled water and VP M1. I feel that the VP M1 is far superior and have ran tanks of 50/50 and 70/30, but I feel like 60/40 is just right.

I installed my tank to the back side of the rear seat, and mounted the pump in the cavity where the tool kit goes in the boot. I will eventually move the tank and pump to the battery box and move the battery to the passenger side floor after the interior gets gutted. I chose not to use the washer tank because that area is way too fragile in a collision.

If you go this route, I would recommend a mechanical boost gauge, and an AFR gauge. If you are in the Atlanta area, you are more than welcome to check it out.
