i looked at aquamists page, good idea, shitty price, how about an MP version?

 

I've never seen a boost gauge like that before, unique.

That dash switch for your system is the ultimate in factory-look I'd say.

 

Suffice to say that there are enough new projects on MP's plate right now. I don't think you'll see water injection from us. You are well catered to by Brad, as well as various DIY writeups on Saab boards.

I am aiming for subtlety with this car. My SPG was over the top, the Viggen stays tasteful.

Thanks for the kind words.

well :roll: i dont quite know who brad is, and as for doing it myself, i dont have the time for getting all the pieces together, and im no electrical master. sorry for the suggestion.

 

i love the mounting of the gauge!

let us know how the mister turns out

 

The guage is a GReddy...

I have the same boost and EGT guage that I haven't installed yet, so I'm glad to see that it looks close to stock.....

Nice job, Andy....

 

Very clean install. I like it.

 

Brad = George's Imports out of Kansas City.

NOT a fan of him OR George's Imports AT ALL after how he/they treaded my mother on numerous occasions. :evil:

I didn't mean to come off negative- by all means everyone keep the suggestions coming. If there is still a market for it when we get on top of everything else were working on, I'll look into it. The Aquamist system is not cheap, but it is well put together, which is worth the money for a lot of people. A water injection system failure can be pretty expensive. I am also wary of encroaching on territory that is commanded by our friends in the industry.

I'm sorry that George's Imports provided bad service. I have always had good experiences with them.

Take care,

Thanks Mike. The gauge lights up identically to the stock cluster, with the exception being a slightly lighter shade of orange on the pointer than the stock gauges. I was blown away when I saw it at night for the first time.

 

The Aquamist stuff is top-notch. There are features which are hard to beat. Here are a couple of the finer points:

1. In the system is a meter with vanes and a magnetic sensor which detects water-flow and flow-rate; in the event of a failure, or unexpected decrese in flow (partly blocked nozzle) the system can send a signal to a kill-switch or standalone ECU to change the map or cut power to the wastegate control solenoid (Defaults to base-boost).

2. The nozzle is designed to create large and small droplets of water simultaneously. The reason for this is that the high speed valve which regulates the flow pulsates. Which means that the flow out of the nozzle is not continuous. However, by using large and small droplets the larger droplets lag behind and "fill in" the space between the pulses of smaller droplets. Were it not for this feature, it's possible that some combustions would get more water than others.

Those are just two of the more important details I can think of off hand. I'm sure there are more. If you want, there is a thread at nasioc.com in the engine-management and tuning section on "Aquamist Q/A answered here." in which Richard L from Aquamist regularly participates. There is a lot of good info there, though I wouldn't reccomend Saab-specific questions as it's a Subaru forum.

Also, aquamist has their own forum (originally TurboICE, but now sponsored by aquamist) in which you can ask whatever questions you like: http://www.aquamist.co.uk/phpBB2/index.php

Anyway, that is all.

Im running a kit from coolingmist.com. The quality is very good for being a 1/4 of the cost of aquamist. And it seems to work just as well. Im sure its not as high tech and advanced etc...but it works for me...
