Devils own alky kit

Hey guys,
It's been awhile since I've been on here but time to get back into it this summer. I have a 87 GN 80,000km, stock dp/turbo/ic. Have hotwired walbro, rjc power plate, adj. FPR, kr/boost gauges. Anyway, last year a bought 50# injectors and a TT chip for the 50's and alky. This brings me to my question, has anyone used the Devils Own progressive alky kit. Looks to be about the same setup as some of the others, just wondering if anyone is using this and what they think. Tried the search but no luck.

Thanks in advance.

I believe it was Pacemkr86 that has posted that he has used Devils Own, SMC, and alky control and they all three worked well for him.

Most here probably use alky control.

Long as everything works, any of the kits, or the homebuilt kits, seem to work well.

Thanks guys

I was thinking of doing my own, but there is a Canadian retailer for the Devils own kit, I can get everything (inc. 2 nozzles and a 3 bar map) for under $500 cdn tax in shipped to my door. Buying a controller and pump plus all other hardware would be close to that anyway, without any warranty or tech support. I have ordered the kit and will post my thoughts in the coming weeks.

I've got a devils own kit on 2 of my cars, and I've installed it on 3 of my friends cars. They work well.

I had one fitting warp and leak because it was to close to the hot side of the turbo. And one pump leak. I suggest pulling the top off the pump before installing and using some 100% silicone to seal it before installing. It's been a couple years no other problems.
