Is getting worn out
you done a good job on that system, i cant wait to do mine, how much did it cost you?

I guess it was around $130 or so... I will have to invest in some better relays though, since the Autozone one crapped out on me today...
I got some Ford factory relays at the junkyard a while back and have them as spares...
Not a bad idea huh gary?
With 2,000 miles on the system, I have an update...
I'm guessing the turbo "Pulses" with the exhaust and that is causing me to fry relays. I have the hobbs pressure switch set to 7PSI. When the turbo gets near 7, the indicator light will start to flicker. Once I get to 7+, it will stay on. I'm guessing that the flickering is causing the relays to self destruct.
Other than that, the system works as advertised! I have the 11.6GPH nozzle on it and my temps stay down 200-300* I can still reach 1,200* but it takes a lot longer to get there. I'm also making more boost, when the system is working.
Once I figure out how to solve my relay problem, I plan on putting a larger nozzle on the system. I'm also installing a larger tank, in the bed of the truck. I can go through a gallon of water pretty quick, when I'm towing the 5er.
Disclaimer: I have no idea if these parts are available or feasible to use. I'm thinking a loop with a regulator set for 8 psi then your hobbs switch T'd in then out thru a one way valve past the regulator when the boost drops
Could you tell me what this pump is and were i can get the pump you used? If i ever get any money again i plan on doing this to my IDI, oh and were do i get the nozzels

The flicker will kill the relay. They don't like that. It needs to be on or off.
Ok..... So how do I remove the flicker? These PSD's must have a pulsed output..
Good question. All I know is a relay needs to be on or off. If a relay doesn't ave a steady power source it will die.
Learned that from a signal guy. The guy was flipping out as the track machinery was going through is newly rebuilt relay box.
