Go with something integrated to your tune to incorporate safety and other features.

I use the BMS kit

I have used the BMS and Snow performance kit.
At the end of it all, you are incorporating parts of the kit as you'll have to make some of your own fittings etc.
Mainly you'll be using the tank that best fits your location to hold the fluid and with BMS you can use their pump and controller for example.
Best is to talk to a shop that is experienced with this and get some good feedback on the installation

I use BMS because it intergrates with my JB4 and Terry can then support set-up and tuning.

Aquamist have made great advanced systems for 20+ years...

Yup Aquamist is if not the #1 vote I hear, AEM second.
BMS Kit is becoming less popular since its tied to JB4 (Other issues my N55 friends were having with their Kit too)and a lot of ppl are preferring Flash only w/ Standalone Controller kits

Which snow performance schnell1982 you have

I am leaning towards the Aquamist + Howerton tank setup.

Tip is to use compression fittings through out and make sure the pipes are routed and secured so they can rub - use wiring loam nylon mesh type harness tube as well to protect and you will be ok.

Aquamist HFS or BMS if you already have JB4 installed.

caution with boost juice - can leave red residue on the trottles and give problems - I mix my own- it could be easier.

No residue from mixing your own 100% methanol with distilled water - nothing to leave behind, the residue is from other aditives like colouring boost juice uses.

Same risk of fire from 50:50 mix of water/meth as boost juice which is the same % mix so not sure where your point is?

You can get methanol from various outlets - try googling it. I buy 25 litre drums from a cleaning product whole sale out let. Distilled from my local super market in 4 litre bottles then just mix at 50:50. Easy.

Agreed, which is why it sucks to sell it. I could dumb it down to work with the BMS FSB and it'll work with the JB4, but then I'm using a meth system that's twice as good but only using half it's potential. S63TU tuning is beyond the needs for JB4 anymore, unlike my S63, so this would benefit an S63TU far better than my S63.

Agreed, but many cases of problems with BMS Kit. I wouldn't touch it and i would keep your Standalone kit which has proper failsafes.

Look elsewhere for a tuning that will support your meth system. IMO
