I think someone showed an after dyno but I would like to see a before and after dyno (Aquamist on and Aquamist off) with any state of tune be it custom, canned or stock.

It seems like from reading the posts in this thread and the problems that are being reported that this must be a difficult DIY project and I am quessing it is taking between 6-10 hours or more for most DIY installers.

Well all I know is that it does not loose power, and it for sure as hell feels like it adds power (the car has never ran so strong...I think the others that have installed it can say the same). Even if it added 0 hp though....I'd still say its worth every penny, knowing that the motor is just that little bit safer. I've said it before, the power it adds is merely a side bonus to me. Not really a fair comparison, but I do know that after meth, my recent dyno run made more torque and about the same hp as the last time I was on a dyno (without meth), but using a much weaker tune and about 40 degree hotter ambient temps. Make of that what you want...

I thought about doing a dyno run with it off and a run with it on, but to be completely honest, I cringe at the thought of even running this car without meth now, one blown motor is enough. Plus the way that the R56 ECU adapts to it, I don't think the full gain would even show between the two runs. It's really amazing how great it [the R56] can adjust fuel trims and timing for it though....its flawless.

As far as install....it took me a while because I took my time and figured everything out as I went along, but there is nothing inherently difficult about it. Now that I know what to do, I could get a kit on in no time.
