Yes, let the pump push the water. I had my tank in my toolbox almost above the pump on the frame. The gravity flow theory worked for me.
If I use water injection again, I'll build my own kit. I don't need a fancy controller. I'll use my on/off switch to a 200psi pump. I'll buy the water injectors from snow.

Right now I'm shooting straight H2O. Don't need or want meth just yet.
It cost me about $330 shipped.
I thought about running it from my toolbox, but this way was very easy. Not that the toolbox mounting would be difficult, but I have 2 fuel filters there already, plus an air compressor and tank. My backseat is now where I keep alot of my tools..
As far as wiring is concerned... I do have alot. Most of them are nicely tucked away in plastic corregated tubing, but some have gotten away from me...
I just need some time to clean it up a little...

I paid for 3 day ship, so I really hope I get it before Friday, I have a dyno day to do on Saturday and would really like to have it installed for that so i can make some hard pulls.

I got mine installed last night, I am still playing with it, but so far so good! I used trik396 pictures as a base line for installing everything, so I won't throw up any more pictures. I mounted the controller on the windshield up by the top of the a-piller next to the valet switch for my alarm, so it is always in sight, but out of the way. I am using a 14 and 10 nozzle only because I broke one of the 10's they sent. I had to grind on the intake horn for the nozzles because it is so thick and I also tapped it to make it seal better, but I also overtightened and broke a nozzle because of it, so it may be better to over drill the hole, use the rubber/metal washer they provide to ease the install.

What nozzles did they send you? I recieved a 14,10,7, and a 3.
I didn't grind the intake even though it was very thick. I tapped it all the way. It's not easy screwing the nozzle in from the inside, but I used a gearwrench ratcheting box wrench and snugged them up pretty good until I had enough threads on the outside of the intake to screw on the 90degree fittings.
Let us know how you like the setup. I've been very pleased especially since it costs around half of what the others charge.

Not that this helps you guys much, but Coolingmist had some neat nozzles that screwed in from the outside. You still had to remove the intake horn to tap it, but once it's tapped you can change nozzles without removing it again.
