torn between these alky kits. help
Guys i have searched and found two alky kits iam torn between, the smc kit and the aquamist kit. Since iam a novice in the alky department iam alittle lost in which kit to get. I like the aquamist kit due to the dds3 system. due these two kits have reliable issues, and can you use denatuer alcohol in the aquamist kit. btw does the aquamist kit need a special additive due to seals in the tank?. any info would help. thanks

Most of the "alky" users on this forum either don't know what they are or don't bother to use them. Remember it's your car and it's up to you to try and protect it from catostrophic failure in case there is a malfunction. I still say Aquamist is the best around .

snow performance kit from gruppe-s has a failsafe, has anybody used the dds3 with that kit.
pretty much what iam looking for in a alky kit is, trunk mounted, has failsafes, can run denatuer alcohol, compatible with the dds3, and ofcourse reliable. Are there any new kits coming out with more failsafes, upgraded pumps.
