Hi Richard,

I'm looking to install my HFS3 kit on a 2014 m135i with EWG and JB4.

There is so much information out there from yourself and also from BMS it's a little confusing to say the least. Each say the others failsafe is not as good as the other and it leaves the end customer feeling frustrated. I hope you can help with a clear answer to some questions I - and hopefully many others - will find really useful when it comes to making a decision to purchase he Aquamist kit and making the install easier.

The JB4 offers a map3 for methanol injection. I plan to use this to run more boost and would like to spray the meth mix when on this map only.

There may be times when I'm traveling with the car and I don't have access to meth. I don't want me running out of meth to effectively render the car useless and run at hugely reduced boost level.

If for whatever reason there is a no or low flow situation I would like boost to be reduced when using this map only. If I have the aquamist gauge turned off - which I understand will stop the flow of meth I would still like to run a normal boost level when on another map (map6 in the case of the jb4).

So in essence I want to be able to run the car normally without meth if I choose to.

My understanding from what I've read is that I would be safe to use the Aquamist built in failsafe for this. I saw a promising conversation with an m235i owner about controlling the EWG on his car.

What would make more sense to me is to feed the flow information to the JB4, and allow it to pull boost if there is a problem. In your opinion is this a bad idea and why should using the Aquamist setup be more beneficial?

Finally, do you have a wiring diagram for the m135i EWG 2014?

If I can get all the information I plan to write a detailed post showing the install of this kit and integration with the jb4 if possible.
