looking forward to what kind of gains other people get on the meth kit. I'm probably going to order one too, but I'm afraid I'll end up losing top end power like fr8dog did with his higher psi pulley

the power steering pump is a fixed pullied system i dont see how it can be relocated?? are you sure dont mean the power steering tank?? Edit.... a quick email to Ess confirms the p/s pump is definatly not touched during this install at all???? wahhooo glad you sorted your boost gauge?? what boost are you seeing?? mine is 8psi @ 7900....... im looking forward to getting out in the car this weekend, high temps in the UK planned so i'll be running harder to see how i feel about the heat soak issue. Rabbit, would definatly like some pics of your water/meth setup using the stock washer tank.... niiccee solution, your nozzle MAY be slightly to large as your 11.5s top end AFR are definatly alittle rich....water/meth will richen the mixture somewhat.

found a great deal on a new AEM kit locally, with 4 gallons of free "boost juice" 49/51 liquid. I'd like to install it in the trunk, for better weight distribution. Not sure if I can run the lines under the car or if I'll have to drill through my interior. I'll pick up the kit monday

i love the way Fr8tdog welded a plate to his boost pipe to mount the motor....... any ideas on this tom?? imo use the washer bottle, dont forget the meth is actually a great cleaner ;-) it will still clear your screen no probs..... again so far in this uk climate which is cold, chilly and damp.... my kit seems fine, looking forward to our mini heatwave due this weekend so i can put this thing through its paces.

yeah I'm still undecided if I wanna use the potentially more dirty windshield washer reservoir and use the more expensive water/meth to wash windows
I wish fr8dog would come back and drop some knowledge

but as beedub said I would definitely use the windshield reservoir instead a of a separate tank for a cleaner install and less load on the meth pump. I'm currently planning a meth install for my x5 w/ the n55 motor and that's route I'm going. BTW check out the e90 forums for member installs...

to be honest i really dont know, all i know is its really cooling down the motor and curing it from heatsoak, yet people have proven 30whp from meth (the m3 guys). iv had the kit for almost a month now and never used it once on my windsheild, i wash the car every week and it doesnt see rain so its not an issue for me.

boost isnt gearing dependant, it just takes longer in the "higher" gears, otherwise we'd have widely different boosts for each gear ;-)
tom re loosing power with the higher pulley im guessing this isnt an issue, ess supplied me this pulley with a stock vt2-500, so guessing this isnt an issue, my car also made 450rwhp about 30hp more than most other vt2s, incidently that goes hand in hand eith the psi per HP figure ;-).... Ess have the actual charts for those runs, due to the slightly higher than quoted power we made we wanted to check things over..... the car made 507 @ the crank.

re the meth/water injection, i spoke to my tuner, they said am i aware of the meths corrosive properties??? basically meth WILL eat away @ coatings/plastics.... alittle search on google confirms this..........
im thinking about the inside of the cast manifold, and the hose couplers?? i have serious concerns over our engines injesting melted junk.......!!!!
