Meth mod, need some guidance

I'm thinking about installing a meth kit. I was think about getting the HFS-4 system but where can I get the best deal? I understand the amount of meth is controlled by the boost level sensor that comes with the kit as well as a safe gate.

Thoughts please..

I had the HFS-4 on my R56 cooper. Great system. Theres more to it than simply a boost pressure switch. It can interpret many signals from the DME and various sensors to allow for the correct flow as well as multiple ways to remain safe. There is piles of information on it available online. It is a bit more costly than some of the simpler systems though, as as such many go to the cooling mist/BMS setup or vishnu etc.

I picked my kit up from Howerton Engineering with one of their car specific tanks for the cooper. I now have a BMS setup with a Howerton tank in my 135. Cost and the integration with the JB4 had me sold. Prices are going to be very similar for the aqua mist system everywhere you look, unless you find a used one.

What else do you need to know? Any other questions?

I'm running the Cobb tune so I was thinking this would be my best option going with the HFS-4. So, this system ties into the DME? I did not know that.. Any informative info you can give me would be great. I'm totally new to Meth..

It doesn't tie in, but you will be connecting it to signals from the injectors, the map sensor and ignition. IIRC one was base off of duty cycle.. but it's been a while..

Now I'm looking into the snow performance kit which I think would be a better fit
