I have it, got a great deal off a board member. I have it all wired up just have not used it yet. I think Rob 02 uses it for a while now.

Well i am not a nitrous guru, but I think the TPS is much better than the button. The TPS makes it so that the nitrous is only active when you are at WOT and that is what you want, to prevent detonation and all that good stuff. I think with the button you have more chance to screw up the motor because you can hit is anytime, and may not be at full throttle.

I have one and have been using it for about a year. Its been flawless and I would recommend it highly. I personally dont like micro switchs or buttons to activate nitrous.

You need a standard automotive 12volt relay to use with it. It wasn't hard for me, but I've been in automotive repair for 10 years. Its a straight forward install. If you can read basic electrical schematics you will be fine. If not post where you dont understand and I can clear it up!

Relay and TPS together

I installed this a day before I went to school for three months.(wanted to get to the track and use it befor I left) It was suppose to be temporary, but I have never got around to moving were I wanted. I suppose I'll change when I swap in my built motor.

Thanks, i figure it out i guess. After building a couple of cars from scratch (Cobras mostly) i should know how, but its always nice with some instructions the first time you do something.

nice

Probie, a member here, bought a NX kit from Sal @ PSP and used a similar item. His was adjustable, which yours should be. Works great!!!

In there process of installing one of the those bend to fit ****ty micro switches on our Stang. I have to tell you, Installing the EFI kit seemed like a walk in the park compared to trying to put a kit on a carbed vehicle.
