Make sure it gets plenty of fuel (big fuel pump lines ect.) most story's begin here. Most kits recommend 5-7 psi you should check it engaged. I burnt 7 pistons on my 340 because a week fuel pump. If your kit is used be sure to check the solenoids rebuild kits are available. Hold on its a blast :lol:

You still running a turbo?

well this was my first weekend with the nitrous. No real major problems.We weren't there an hour and i caught a branch and bent a push rob tube and rod. and while we were driving back some how my purge silenoid got a short and burned up the coil. no big deal though. its defiantly different. I found that i can even use it for in the woods more than i originally thought.It definitely aids the boost at low rpms. I do agree with rocket its definitely addicting. All power adders are addicting all in all.

I don't want to bust anyones balls but that setup is going to hurt a lot of parts due to the fact that the fuel pump isn't big enough to supply enough fuel under boost.when using nitrous in a direct port set-up with a turbo you need a fuel pump that will not only make enough pressure to supply the nitrous(usually 6-8 psi)but also overcome the boost pressure you are running.Lets say you are running 10 psi boost and your nitrous is set at 7psi you would need a pump capable of making AT LEAST 17 psi but more like 20 or the boost pressure will push the fuel right back up the nozzles,the engine will go VERY lean and we all know what comes next.To simplify this you can place 1 nozzle before the turbo then you don't have the boost pressure to overcome.Again I'm not trying to put your stuff down I just don't want to see anyone burn there stuff up because of insufficient fuel supply.

Personally, I would run regulators on both fuel and nitrous.
