same reason im looking at them also. everyone i know subby or otherwise runs them or ebay ones.. EW at the ebay ones...
the M line one should fit i would hope

if i need to i can always go with a different series they have with same flow rate etc just smaller overall size.

i have thought about this but 2 things that kept coming to mind when i would start seeaching.
1) i live in billings mt. it never really gets to hot here. highest ive seen it in last few years was in the 90*'s maybe
2) the building im planning wont need much more then 300hp
this being said im not 100% sure i would need a water/meth kit

You don't NEED a water/meth kit. Ever. Just like you don't NEED race gas.

However in a turbo setup, regardless of what the ambient temp is, your IATs will be always high. High meaning 100+*F. Always. Unless you have a frozen IC or an ice-box WTA IC setup.

Water/meth does much more than just reduce inlet air temperatures.

Trust me when I say it's much better having water/meth injection than just a front mount IC, doesn't matter which brand. A 3-4GPH nozzle will get you a long ways on a 300hp setup, won't consume much w/m and will help immensely with controlling knock, #1 engine killer, and reducing IATs for denser air = more HP.

How do you go a set up like that?


Tap 1/8 NPT into your cold side pipe close to your throttle body, or tap your intake manifold, and insert the nozzle. Run a line from the nozzle to the pump, pump to the tank, and activate the pump with a hobbs pressure switch set to whatever PSI you desire.

I just put one in a month ago. Seems pretty solid so far, but I have some alumaloy handy just incase it starts leaking, which I don't plan on anyway. I ordered a Megan Racing one and they were out of stock so they upgraded me to Mishimoto which was a little more money but I didn't pay extra. All in all, the fans mount fine and the radiator is thicker as usual. So my custom piping has to be re-done, which I am working on now. Seems fine, when they said they were upgrading me I looked up the company, they've been around since 03 I think.
