    CoolingMist SUCKS!

    So got this thing all installed and primed the system today and put the controller in setup mode and it lasted about 3 minutes before it took a dump.

    It did not blow the fuse just died!

    So I am going to pull this POS out and replace it with a Boost Gauge till I can afford the Howerton / AquaMist setup.

    So the moral of the story don't buy the CoolingMist system.

    You must be that Di¢k's Garage Guy from NAM. As he is the reason that I left NAM.

    And to answer your question, I LIKE to do things and I like to learn, and yes I dont like to just throw money at a situation, I get a certain sense of accomplishment from knowing that I did it myself. Yes, sometimes I fail, but then again I learned how it all works and I am willing to take the risk and share my experience with others so that they may learn from my experiences good or bad.

    Yeah, great I am so happy that you are here and decided to start your crap with me again! (complete sarcasm).

    BUT just so you know I have bought the DimSport Tuner/Flash box from Jan and I have him coming here in Feb (even though I got a 'canned' tune already).

    I did get the CoolingMist Water/Meth working again after talking to them, but I still think its a bad design, I already talked to Jeff @ Howerton and I will be getting an HFS-3 in the future, but to do it the way I want its going to cost about 1k$.

    Yeah a grand is about right, but it is a system that wont fail easily. Outside of an ocasional O-ring, I haven't even heard of any problems.

    Glad to see you not going the Bytetronik route. You will be happy with your up coming tune. :)

    See Im not always an A-hole! :D
