No bottle warmers, gauges or other safeguards? Thanks, but no thanks. I'll be doing my addition just to get me to low-to-mid-boost and then letting the supercharger take over, but I still will not skimp on the safety items.

When you introduce such a large and instantaneous increase in cylinder pressures, rings and bearings tend to go to shit.
I'm sure you're aware that they have items that allow you to ramp up the spray... for the reasons you have stated.

Gotcha.

But then again, you live in San Diego, my friend. I think the Padres have had one rainout in like 10 years. Your weather doesn't change! I spent 6 months at Balboa Naval Hospital... as a patient.

- no... I say upgrade your injectors when you reach the 100 shot range

thanks everybody for the input. Dut, you mentioned a 50 shot dry, why not wet? I dont really understand the difference. I can get teh complete NX setup brand new for 550, because the guy I'm getting it off of gets it for cost, and only charges me install. So what is the difference between wet and dry, and will i need to upgrade the clutch or anything like that????????? By they way 550, is just the simple NX setup, its not direct port, and i will buy purge valves, gauges, etc serperately, so i might reach the 700 dollar range when all said and done.
