Bringing this from the dead. due to the lack of knowledge with the few shops i delt with i had a meth kit that never worked and i took it off.
The problem was that they did not connect the power to the correct place and meth would flood my engine any time i would open my car.
I now know the correct place it has to connect to the fuse inside the box that by the windshield of passenger where people usually lay down their BMS box.

I will re install meth with in next few weeks and do proper testing.

Let me know how you make out with the meth install? I am interested not only for performance, but also to help maintain clean intake valves.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I have a 740i with the n63 motor. I am probably going to start running some liquid tubing and multi-conductor electrical cables this weekend to get some of that work out of the way. What resevoir did you end up going with? I am going to find some dims for this one as it appears that it may fit perfectly in the empty space by my battery. http://www.amazon.com/AEM-Water-Meth.../dp/B0058KGTFC

The charge pipes you are referring to - are they still going to be before the inter-coolers?

I may do a kit with summer coming up... the way I install my kits is much sneakier though

Or drive out to AZ, I will fab you up some bad ass charge pipes with stainless and install your kit for you.

Hey badblack550xi,

Do you know the sizes for the inter-cooler to turbo hoses? I am looking to make up a set for my meth kit as I do not want to put a hole in the OEM since I am still under CPO.

Thanks!
