What's the point of going cheap when you can get the AEM kit for £300.
Do you really want to risk a failure when you have mapped up to it on settings 9-9-9 :scared:
With the AEM you can use one of the wires to cut the N75 if you run it of water/meth so it defaults to waste gate boost.
You really need that spacer too, to protect your throttle body.
I personally think its best to spend a little more.

I spoke to Keith@APR before buying mine and he recommended against buying any of these all singing all dancing "adaptive and progressive" WMI kits, because the ECU has to permanently try and adjust fuel trims etc trying to second guess the WMI controller as it alters its flow rates throughout the rev band.
He recommended to install a simple "basic boost operated" setup, so i bought the Devils Own Base kit(6-30)psi which including delivery and 4 quarts tank came to £257.

I looked at various kits but the CoolingMist kit I chose uses very high quality components and has proven that it deserves its place in the market.

Have you got any before and after graphs Dave? To show the increases across the rev range?
If someone was to run the meth all/most of the time is it worth upgrading the intercooler on a mk5 GTI as well?
On the US forums a couple of years ago a few were fitting the snow kits and using the washer reservoir asthe tank. I didnt keep an eye on the long term outcome. Have you heard of this being done or wouldyou not recommend it?
