They have a failsafe that can be used to force wastegate boost whenever a error in flow is detected. It can also be used to trigger various other things via a 12v signal. The failsafe is called SafeInjection.

Well the SI is hooked up the solenoid teed into the MBC lines so the WGA is piloted not only for boost regulation but in the event of loss in flow.

I ops checked the solenoid for venting psi when energized now I need to bench check the SI unit for a fault trigger when powered and flow is liquid removed.

Now I just have to wait until the rest of my kit arrives. It will regulate pump voltage in response to both MAF Hz and boost pressure - eliminates unwanted excess methanol injection under high loads (3rd, 4th and 5th gear) and too little in 1st and 2nd.

I'm planning on mounting the pump where the stock IC spray reservoir is. The thing is usless to me I think I used it about a handful of times, ever.

The reservoir for the kit will be a little more tricky but I think a can find a temporary home for it near the drivers firewall, that is until I get a smaller battery.

I ordered a 2.5" 90 degree 16ga alum elbow which I plan to splice and t-bolt into the final bend into the throttle body plate - Oh yeah, the reason is for nozzle mounting

Theres my plan, nozzle is slightly higher than reservoir full level with the pump being lowest. Ive allready strung out the grounds so I'm pretty much waiting for the UPS chick to deliver the 2d controller, pump, and rest (I wish) so I can get the rest of this thing ROLLIN. Hopfully I can work the snags which may spring out but I have plenty time to work it because I wont get tuned until May

I saw the picture of where you got the lights mounted, looks good. Do they get your attention?

I may have to copy that, I'm still afraid to drill into the interior though

They don't get your attention much during the day,but no where are they really going to...but at night its more than ample. Another location you can use is your a-pillar especially if you have gauges mounted there. To mount on the trim like I did just make sure you mount the yellow led a little over to the left as where I mounted it I had to file down the dash behind just a little. I wanted it exactly right there so I didn't care about filing.

The shop my friend owns(Revolutionstuning.com) is putting a turbo kit on Matt Snow's(The owner of Snow Performance) mustang today. I'll tell him about EvoM and see if he can post answers in here. They've done a bunch of the kits on mustangs and other cars. The kits are awesome.

I'd like to know if the Stage2 MAF will work on the EVO or do i need just the Stage2 kit? in other words do i need the MAF kit or the MAP kit?

Either maf or map will work on evos, unless you are running speed density and then only map will work since you no longer have maf on the car...

Don't forget the 2d mapped units we have for Evos (and other Mistsus) that use the MAF signal *AND* boost and don't cost any more than the normal stage 2!!

Of course assuming there is still a MAF there...

Once I get tuned, I will have my 2D results. Hopefully in May

SnowTech.3, Is this Dan? If so I'm thinking of contacting Spartan Scientific on an appropriate 3 way solenoid valve for an addition to my failsafe system.

It will be positioned before the flow sensor and when energized, via IC spray relay by pushing stock Evo IC spray switch, will be used to test the system by triggering a false drop in flow (bypassing flow sensor) to energize the WGA solenoid.
