I just got the cooling mist trunk mount setup in. It has the tank with the cubby hole that the pump sits in. It was $270 shipped. I got it off ebay. You can also look on their site. Its the basic trunk mount kit.

i went with the snows stg 1 boost cooler. i dunno IMO the electronic progressive units are definitely nice but i wonder if they are over kill... i have the biggest nozzle that snow sends in my setup and its triggered around 7-8psi. I have no hesitation when it hits or anything.. running around 75% meth by volume.. It completely cured my knocking and cools the intake charge at or below ambient temps... if you had a huge turbo thats slow to spool or a real small engine slow to spool i believe the benefits of the progressive units would be seen... but my pt7675 spools so fast on my little 5.3 that by the time it triggers at 7 psi its at 16-18psi less then 2 tenths of a second later. i just went 106.8 mph this weekend on a stock 5.3 bottom end and minimum 3850lb raceweight so im happy and i think it works awesome. best part i price matched with jegs and payed only 250 bucks...

I will say that the Aqua Mist looks like one bad *** set-up, but alky control would get my vote also.

Now tuning it for the methanol injection....that's another can of worms in itself.

Alky Control is the only thing we put on cars. The customer service with Hulio is outstanding.

Its more expensive than other kits, definitely worth it.

Alky control is the only way to go if you want a reliable setup. Not bashing devil's own but I've personally seen them fail on other cars and will not tune them.

What universal kit are you running, the DVC-30 Stage 2 kit?

What failed on the Devils Own setups? The pumps? I was planning on buying their meth kit this week.

Second fastest now....

We do sell a lot of the Snow kits I wish we did carry some other brands though. Nothing against them at all, I do like their new L.E.D. readout controller they have now.

Alky Control has an LED indicator as well.

What usually fails is the pump. Some components internally can't handle the meth and corrode. Another reason why Alky kits provide brass fittings instead of aluminum.

AlkyControl is a great system. Almost every fast Turbo Buick out there runs it. Julio's pump has been modified to withstand methanol use. In his kit, you only use 100% meth (or as close to 100% as you can get). Most other pumps need a lubrication additive, etc. You can also use Denatured Alcohol if you have to, but it is more damaging to the pump. Very easy to install. I had a kit done in a day by myself, and I am 17 years old. Give the kit a go, you won't be disappointed.

I went with the Aquamist setup based on how it's activated and metered. The setup is based on injector cycle duty rather than boost pressure, and I think their nozzles and injectors are a better design. They are almost like a fuel injector themsevles with a pump that pushes 160psi at constant pressure, then you have an electronic actuation valve that opens to the nozzles.


Aquamist has been running WRC's for years and years and is 100% methanol safe. After spending as much as I did for a forged shortblock, and a D1SC Procharger, a couple extra hundred dollars for a better meoh injection setup is worth it.

I didn't necessarily mean the indicator light, I meant that they have a controller that looks like a remote control that has a L.E.D. readout display and has push buttons that allow you to cycle through menu's and options instead of having to fool with *****, dials or dip switches. It also will tell you exactly how much fluid is left in the reservoir.
