water is not a big deal, but in the winter it will freeze up. Will the system be ok
without water in it or does it have to be removed? Any negative effects on the engine if aquamist is not tuned properly or malfunctions?

I doubt there will be problems with your car; during the winter just put in washer fluid from Audi
interesting fact: Audi's washer fluid has a great meth/water ratio.
atleast it won't freeze.

so you think that washer fluid can be injected safely into the intake?
Plus what about my other question regarding malfunction of aquamist and that causing damage to engine. I suppose anything is possible, but will it be easy to spot before it can cause any damage?

Yeah, Aquamist has LED you can place into your cabin which will let you know if the nozzles are
clogged, water is low, etc.
I think their 2d and 2s systems have abilities to tell ECU's to go to lower boost levels if the ECU supports it (such as piggy back ecu's) ... or if you are running an EBC with dual settings like the Profec, I'm sure you can set it up to switch to a lower setting.
If you left your programming alone, your ECU will automatically pull back timing if it detects a ping so from what I know its pretty safe.

sounds very interesting. Don't know if I'll be able to jump on this deal since I still have a few
other mods to do before I'll really need this, but never-the-less, thanks a lot for your help with understanding this a bit more.
