Default As anyone used the Snow performance Boost Cooler Stage 2 MAF..

It is listed for our cars.. Just wondering if it works well.. I STFA and didnt find any1 using it..
Thanks

"This kit uses the 0 to 5 Volt output signal from the Mass Air Flow sensor on many fuel injected vehicles. This means that any vehicle with a MAF (with a 0-5V output signal) can use this kit, whether they are naturally aspirated or forced induction. If the application is forced induction, it can be used with very fast-spooling turbos, or positive displacement blowers. It is easier to set up with the positive displacement blowers with a MAF signal because it is more progressive in nature vs. the boost pressure signal on those applications. This allows for the most accurate injection possible over the widest range. The result is the most power and driveability possible."

Default I was thinking about this come warmer weather... I would inquire if it is good for both

Bosch and Hitachi MAFs. I've heard that hitachi signal is very different than the Bosch (not necessarily voltage but the type of response like digital, oscillating or non-linear). Others with knowledge on this please chime in.

Default There are a few here using water/meth injection, and I'm pretty sure some are using that kit

Just be mindful that in order to take advantage of water/meth injection, you really need to tune for it. Custom tuning would be ideal, but you'll need some serious lemmi-ing at a minimum.

Uses MAF voltage (instead of boost pressure) to trigger and scale water/meth injection.

Default I don't know...I have the Aquamist system (2d)

From what I can see, snowperformance is cheaper and seems to be as advanced as Aquamist.

Boost actuated seems simpler to me. The less tapping of OE wiring the better IMHO.<ul><li><a href="http://ctny.audiworld.com/mark/s4/aquamist/">My installation is similar</a></li></ul>

Default A few people have used WI, but most don't take advantage of it. (more)

There's a few things:

1) most people don't run 50/50 water/meth
2) most people don't customize/tweak their programs.
3) most people don't properly size their jets and accumulators.

From my understanding, if you do it correctly, you should be able to make 100oct power on 93.
