Think I'm going to install the Snow Performance solenoid. I called AEM and I guess they don't make one and they recommended the competitors solenoid for their kit.

Also got the pump and tank mounted in the trunk. Just bought 2 10" steel L brackets and bolted to floor and then tank to that. And then just bolted the pump to the trunk as well.
Only thing left to do is get the solenoid in and drill and tap the hole in aftercooler for the nozzle.
I might just do that once down at the tuners if I don't have the right size tap in my shop.

Figured id do a compression test before upping the boost since I have 190k miles on my stock motor.
Looks like engine is still healthy!
215-215-215-218
Been boosted since 125k.
Evans Tuning FTW!!

Has anyone noticed that the AEM V2 meth nozzle dribbles at the start of spray and after spray? I was helping a buddy install this kit (tank and pump are in trunk area) and i noticed that the nozzle dribbles a couple of drops of water when he press the test button and it dribbles 1-2 drop of water after. He has a solenoid valve installed to keep pressure up between the pump (recirc type) and solenoid. However, there is about a foot of tubing between the solenoid and the nozzle. Perhaps this is causing it to dribble at the start of spray. Do you think shortening the length between the solenoid and nozzle will help this problem? A foot of tubing between the two is not so bad in my opinion. What do you think? Also, do you think dribbing a few drops of water will cause any problems? Thanks.

I tested the flow on the kit today just using distilled water.
It does drop out for a few seconds after it stops spraying but doesn't dump the liquid out or anything so check valve is working which is good.
I ordered the snow performance solenoid regardless so I'll put that right before the spray nozzle.
