Do some research before buying a nitrous kit. There are plenty of different kits out there, it comes down to preference. Also, you should probably upgrade your fuel system in conjunction with installing a nitrous kit.

Seriously do ALOT more research on Nitrous (NOS is a company) before you thing about running it. It could save you an engine. Also I would run a wet shot over the dry just because it's slightly safer.

depending on your application and how big of a shot you want to run a dry shot is just as safe as a wet shot.

running a 50 shot on the tc I would do a wet shot, the zex kit is as plug and play as you can get.

wedrivescions did a write-up on the zex kit, lots of good info.

you should buy a book on nitrous and read up before you throw something on your tc.

Yeah you might wana do some research. I do know though those composite intake manifolds are not made to deal with wet shots of nitrous. You can run it but if it puddles the manifolds can blow up. I went to an auto school and we blew two toyota engines up from wet shots. You might wana just go direct injection.

Sometimes for the money compaired to the risk, its better to boost.

It's still the same risk either way.

Go with a zex kit 82021. i ran a 75 shot for over 1 1/2 years before going FI. Very easy to install and lots of fun. I'm now converting to the intercooler sprayer... (hey you might be able to buy my setup soon!)
