I probably will run a WOT switch, still looking into it.

Looks good. I like that bracket you have there. I might rig up something like that. I think my nitrous solonoid is too far away from the TB.

Btw don't feel bad if you don't get a bunch of replies. This board should just be called turbo board now.

Thanks, I made that bracket from some brackets I got with my tranny cooler, the bracket the NOS system came with is way to short, I agree with you on this board.

NIce , I want a No2 setup ( just priced 'em, out) . Any problems thus far . Or any suggestions to a newbie. The reason I ask is, I just want all the nesassary stuff . the kit comes with so much , but you need other stuff too . I was wondering if you had some of those tips

thanx Dan

BTW what guages you got in the A-pilar mounted pod. Where can I get a guage pod that holds guages other than 2 1/16. I see you have different sized guages in there NICE!

The guages in the pod are all 2 1/16, I believe auto meter makes a pod for 2 5/8 but not sure. I am running all auto meter sport comp guages as follows: Nitrous pressure ($80), electric fuel pressure ($185) and trans temp ($45) as you can see they can get expensive. As for the Nitrous I am running a remote bottle opener ($158), purge kit ($95) and the TPI kit itself ($549), it does nickle and dime you but alot of this is just nice extras, also I have about 10 hours into the install, because the kit is basic and you have to fabricate some brackets for a nice clean install. All these prices are from summit racing in american dollars. The best tip is to tage your time and do pressure checks on the system before you actually use it, I have a lot of piping and braided hoses due to running a cab mounted guage and the purge kit, also a lot of work on the inside hooking up the electrical stuff (switches).

Looks nice.


You might want to rethink your bottle placement though.. The siphon tube won't be picking up liquid N2O when the level gets low.

I have mine mounted the same way in the hatch well. NOS recommended facing the bottle forward but didn't require it. The instuctions just said to make sure the valve is facing down. I plan to move it over to either the spare tire compartment or between the rear seats facing forward as pictured above.
