This is why I did not want to set it up...I had a feeling it would cause more headaches than I already get with this car.

I do have the failsafe hooked up. Looks like maybe I need to adjust some settings DIY the fault levels.

Wait, you get headaches with this car??

It seems to be tied to the water level light coming on. I'm wondering if the level sensor is not adjusted properly. The tank is near full with 50/50 water/meth. I've got the 0.7mm jet installed and got about 290cc/min in doing a flow test.

One thing you could due for now is to set the Low Flow trip full CCW and the High Flow trip to full CW. Just leave them there until you have every thing else adj. and settled down.

Yep!

Are you seeing the proper flow on the gauge? I had an issue where it would come up to say 3-4 bars, and then go down to 0. I was certain it was flowing just fine based on my testing with it spraying on the windshield while driving around. Turns out though, the jet was faulty.

Exactly where mine are set.

If you're spraying on windshield, then the nozzle port is open, no? Wouldn't that cause a nice boost leak?

Jeff just called and confirmed that I just need to go through the calibbration process. It's on his site. He also comfirmed the quick fix of full ccw on WL and full cw on WH.

niice. I got the kit this morning. Fedex showed it had delivered. I left work for an hour to go home and get it, since I won't be back till probably around midnight, so I didn't want it sitting outside my apartment that long.

I brought it in and quickly opened it up to take a look, everything seems VERY detailed and packaged nicely for a smooth install. I didn't realize how tailored to the R56 this was. Also, I liked the touch on the cap of the tank.
Will be installing it next week, as the gf is visiting this weekend.

Hrm...maybe you're coming down with a cold and can't see her this weekend. *cough* *cough*

Looking forward to hearing more feedback on the Aquamist. The crowdsourcing effect is just starting, I can't wait to hear how the different configurations are working for people.
