I did run the car hard the other day for the first time since install so maybe that's it? Perhaps I'm not used to it? I've only had it for about 3 weeks now but i must say there came a point where it basically smelled like a nail salon if you know what i mean.
I believe he is talking about the intercooler water spray button. That is for spraying water on the intercooler for the factory water spray on the STi. If this is about water injection, that button and that system is not applicable. If you are getting smell, where is your tank installed? If it is in the cabin, I would recommend relocating it. I would use the trunk, or engine bay if possible. You could do what I and many others have done which is use the factory windshield wiper tank for your water meth. You by all accounts are not putting any different chemical into that tank. Yes the meth concentration is a little higher, but you can still use it on your windshield at 50/50. So basically you just take the washer tank out, drill hole down at the bottom of the tank on the side, so you can fit a push to connect fitting in there with the tank mounted in its location, and then use some Household GOOP to glue the push to connect fitting into the tank. I wish I had a picture of my tank setup. My push to connect fitting is at the bottom front of the tank. From there the line runs into my drivers front fender well where my pump is mounted, then to the intercooler from the pump.

Any other questions, ask.
