Alky all the way. You can work with a local dealer or talk to Julio at Alky yourself. He is patient and will answer any question.

Now I will say the install is not for the faint of heart - a lot of stuff needs touched to install it (remove center console, the dash, passenger fender, etc...) to get the components in the right spot & you have to be comfortable doing modifications to things like the windshield tank, phishing wiring thru the car, soldering, wiring, testing electrical circuits, etc... to be able to pull it off. The instructions will have some pictures on physically mounting the pump and modifying the tank on the 6th Gen, but the electrical stuff is pretty generic.

Thanks for the detailed information. I'm definitely not scared of taking fenders or bumpers off and the dash since I've already done so. And even better news I'm a Union Electrician for the last 20 years so I confident in wiring. I'll call Alky tomorrow and get that kit ordered an on the way. Thanks to all that chimed in appreciate the help. Honestly was leaning towards ALKY just wanted to hear a couple more confirmations.

I brought up the install info because it is pretty far from "Cut and dry". Its a high quality kit and in my application it required ZERO tuning, we just used the jet setup my tuner gave me and ran everything else from Alky as it came out of the box.

A couple of tips - the instructions will give you photos, and detail on how to install the two LEDs in a dash of a 5th gen, but I would recommend using the factory windshield washer tank switch / wiring vs the Alky LED setup. One less wire setup and no worry about a LED burning out.

Also the pump to fender clearance is very tight - I did everything I could (made my own bracket, bent to get the pump right next to the body, ground down the tabs on the pump housing, etc...) and the pump still was going to hit the fender from the backside. I ended up having to add two washers as shims to give it a little clearance. Mount that pump as close to the washer tank as you can, and you have to pay attention to where the pump tabs ling up with the body line in the fender.

If you want, - shoot me a PM and I can email you the instructions from Alky
