Aquamist Water Injection System 2d

The install

This is a shot of the factory fuse panel. The fuse indicated is for the power for the pump and pressure switch. Also shown are shots of the Aquamist relay mounted in the relay panel. This relay sends power to the pump through the fuse shown.

Glove box shows the water flow gauge hidden. This location was chosen because the display did not match any part of the factory dash. The next Pict... shows the location of the flow turbine. This gives a singnal to the gauge. The wiring for the flow gauge runs under the carpet to the passenger side kick panel. Then into the glove box.

First two picts show the location of the ERL rotary valve. This is cycled by the ERL control unit which is mounted with the Audi ecu. This location was chosen because a fair number of wires needed to be spliced from the Audi control unit. There is also a fuse for the ERL control unit shown by Jeff's finger pointing to it. The last Pict.. shows the only external clues to anything being different. Two wire looms. Loom #1 is for the Aquamist system. Loom #2 is for the boost gauge.

Pictures of the tank. Along with mounted position. To remove or install - The tank is held in place by two allen head bolts at the base and one at the top. The electrical connector to the pump and pressure switch are must be removed and one water line disconnected. Also note that the pump is secured on rubber isolators. This will lesson the vibrations when the pump is operating.
The blue canister mounted to the bottom corner is a filter. The red canister is a one way check valve. That allows the tank to get outside air as it empties, but does not allow water to escape. I felt this was important as it could be a little embarrassing having someone possibly point out that your trunk is leaking some fluid.
The tank holds 5.5 gallons, was custom made for this project and is foam filled. The foam filling is to minimize sloshing noise and to allow the tank to be able to run lower with a lesser chance of the pickup sucking air.

Above pictures show the mounting bungs for the mounting of the jets and the manifold pressure switch. It is important to note that the jets and the pressure activation switch can be easily accessed by removing the headlights. This also has a stealthy appearance as almost all of the kit cannot be seen with kit installed.
Well thats it - there may be more pics - if so i'll post them later
