Not that I have found. Which kits are you looking at from the States?
Have a look at the failsafe unit from Labonte motorsports. Could save a motor if the meth ever shut down on you

I had an aquamist setup on mine with the Labonte failsafe. Pretty cost effective.
But with E85 I don't really need meth injection anymore so I sold the lot!

Everything I've read and heard about water & water/meth injection is the same Harry:
"Stay away from it."
It was a technology invented for old aircraft engines and adopted by car modifiers as a cheap and easy way to get more power out of their engines....
It's a band-aid fix for detonation problems that could be solved through a good tune, good setup and good fuel and shouldn't be required if all those basic requirements are met. I very much doubt you'll need to use a setup like this on your car and if you did, I'd be very very cautious about relying on a system that could easily let you down and result in costly damage.
As always - your choice at the end of the day mate, but I reckon your $$$ could be better spent on other (and more beneficial things) than something like this.
PS - if you look at Dan's last few posts and see how he's almost running 11s without water injection... it begs the question as to WHY you'd want to run water injection!

If you were to use it, use it only as a knock preventative, not a power adder (for every day use that is)
You could tune for it, but I'd get some sort of input to the ecu to know if it is spraying or not and use a limp type mode for when it does run out. Or just get it to pull timing if it does go empty.
You may even be able to tune if using temp compensation. Cooler air = more timing.

ive already gotten one installed in my car have played with it once...
it takes time to setup properly with the right spray nozzand tune it.
you can run it on 100% water which will give u less gains but be easier to maintain.
Its not a band aid fix as such but the theory on using it is similar to that of say using race fuel, where it reduces detonation so you can run more timing and therefore increase the power and/or run the vehicle at a safer level.

reduces intake temps too??? plus its good for cleaning carbon build up in your engine, internal steam clean lol
