I'll be buying this meth kit next week. Does anyone recommend another brand other than "cooling mist"?

I've had experience using the AEM system and the only thing I didn't like was the self prime at start up. In theory it's great because it gets the lines filled so the meth is there when you need it but we had some starting issues with quick shut off/restarts as it would actually pump enough to inject some if fluid was still in the lines. This was with their earlier designs though so it's probably a non-issue now.

There are soooo many brands out there and each have had their good/bad points. So it'll really be up to whatever you deem best suited for your specific application. It has been a while since I've looked at these kits; it is nice to see that there are kits that are scaleable to the amount of boost you are producing.

Been swamped with work lately so I haven't updated the thread but I just received the new brass geared oil pump today along with the o2 sensor spacers.
I've been reading a lot on the STS turbo kits and I thinking about tapping my oil feed line into an oil pressure line from the motor and then use the pump to scavenge the oil back to the engine. Still deciding if that's the best thing to do. I'm worried that if something happens along the way that I'll lose all my engine oil and them the motor will blow up.

Barbed fittings are fine for vac lines or lines with zero pressure; but if it is circulating vital oil I'd recommend NPT fittings and SS lines since these lines are open to the elements (rocks/debris/etc).
As long as everything is plummed well, sealed tight, and adequate oil levels are maintained...I'd see no reason why you couldn't get away with running engine oil? My recommendation surrounding though woul be finding a port that is post-oil filter BEFORE it enters the engine for use. If such a port is unknown, definitely run an in-line oil filter.
