Show me your Meth Tank Bottle Installs!

I know there are a few threads on this already, but it's always nice to see some new stuff that someone may have installed since the last thread.

I have a BMS 2.3g kit and I don't like the way the reservoir sits in the trunk. Has anyone found a bottle that can fit in the cubby under the right hand side of the the rear quarter? I can move the pump to the left side rear quarter cubby as it is not as deep. I don't mind if I have to cut the carpet and the bottle protrudes through the carpet.

My favorite bottle/tank is the Advan, but I am not spending that much on it for only 5l.

Advan tank is aluminum too, not ideal for meth. What would be best is one that fits in the battery compartment

I don't want to move my battery. The cubby to the right looks promising. Just need to figure out the dimensions.

So was I, something clean that doesn't block the strut tops or use of the trunk would be nice.

Been toying with the idea of a 1g tank and a filler tube through the carpet.

Thats what I am thinking. Summit racing doesn't put product dimensions up and everything looks too big. Let me know what you find.

BMS sells a cheap 1g and a vaporproof cap. Just need a filler neck with appropriate threads and gaskets.

99% of the time water meth means one thing...your turbo is too small. Now if you were racing and your class limited you to a certain turbo size but allowed meth, that's one thing...but I'm guessing that doesn't apply to you.

The best solution in this case is to stop screwing around with pumps, tanks and reservoirs get a Pure S2.

DIY Meth cost less than $1k. Getting a shop to do the install adds another $300 - $800.

Pure S2 turbos cost about $3k, and getting a shop to install them is probably another $3k+.

.. Then you'll be looking down the barrel of PI ($2k+) to keep up with the new air supply.

I totally agree upgraded turbos are the way to go; but there's good reason why people are still messing around with WMI.

I'm hanging out to see some pics. C'mon people, don't be shy

1 Gallon tank mounted in trunk on back of seat.

If you want something that can fit in the right/left side you need to go with 3/4 gallon, we usually offer Devils Own tank for folks that want something small.
