Just a note to everyone. The .6, .7 and .8 are what's included standard in the kit from Jeff at Howerton Engineering. You can however when ordering choose any 3 nozzles you wish. When I ordered mine I chose .8, .9 and 1.0 mm nozzles. The .9 mm nozzle is a great choice for most. The 1.0 adds a little safety margin but will bog on map A and you can still feel it a tiny bit on map B. The flow on a .8 drops to 350cc at 20lbs of boost which is a bit low for my own peace of mind.

Howerton sells a dual tank. We installed one in my friends Clubman mQubed Motorsport, Manic Tuning Dealer

On a side note, I could only get 400cc out the .8 so had to order the 1 jet. Once I flow tested it I still could only get 400 out of that one. There is a screw in the bottom of the pump, just give it ONE click in and flow again. That's all it took to get the 500 out of the 1 jet for me .
Mario,
I know they sell a dual tank, but I´m exploring the option to add a new bigger one to the already installed tank,

By they way. Where is the magic number 500cc taken from? The Aquamist chart says it should be a % of the total injector cc´s and W:M mixture to determine jet size, Doing math, if I chose 20%, R56 injectors will be around 625cc. Is this correct?

Excellent! thanks. By the way. The HFS4 Jeff sells, on the web page description it lists:
"Control Board Modification for R56 use ( DI and Amplification)" What are those if everything is at 12´o clock?
"Control Board Modification for R56 Specific Jetting (Gauge Calibration)" Whats that?

On the back of the circuit board you have:
1.) Pre-amp gain. For the MINI the x2.5 should be linked.
2.) Map sensor type (MPS). For the MINI "S" the 2 bar should be linked. For the JCW, I believe that you want to link the 3 bar.
3.) Flow Mapping. Typically for the MINI link the 0 and 1. If you are using 3 or more jets (or flowing more than 1000 cc/min) then you would want to link the 1 and 2.
Here's a link to download the manual if you don't already have it. Refer to pages 21 and 22.

Lotsa things can go wrong --- component failure, installation mistakes, contaminates, workmanship. If you haven't already done so, maybe establish a working relationship with Jeff Howerton, he's awesome at customer service.
Best of luck ---
