Default Cheap WI parts?

I know I can get each piece of kit at DO, but I'm just wondering if any of you know of a cheaper source for any parts than they list? Everything about my "rebuild" this time around has been with the champion goal of CHEAP. So any deal I can get I want it.

I plan on using a spare PWN output on myAdaptronic with a SS Clippard Mouse Valve. The rest of the parts are fairly std though.

I need:
-Tank
-Lines
-Pump
-etc?

I can't get usplastic.com to load anymore to order a cheap tank. Plus I think it might be cool to have a central thread for collecting links to places with good prices on parts if they exist other than DO.

Having never installed water injection before, what makes a Devils Own pump different to using a window washer fluid pump?

A lot of it you can eBay also for similar prices which helps those not in US given delivery for some of those companies.

I'm actually struggling to find a cheap suitable pump in the UK. Cheapest I found was £99 and thats direct from Devils Own in the UK. Although after saying that, we get reamed on everything, so whats the difference.

Lol, they are sitting for a reason. One i need to figure out if the pump is good or not, aquamist/jr pump/solenoid unit. The other is a full AMS Evo8 kit. I'm keeping them in reserve for my own builds . Just not sure I really need to bother on the miotta.

The link you have will not work for most of us jason the flow is just to damn small. However the prospray equipment is spot on for what we need gj Tyson that is an awesome find.
This is exactly what the kit makers sell for 85 bucks http://www.pro-spray.com/product_det...=|1025&PID=182
