Which wire are you guys using to send key'd power to the realy for the N2O? I had my relay wired to straight battery power since I kept it off anyway, but now I am wiring up a "lean cutoff switch" too so I am running themunder the dash and the only "key on" sorce I can find is the tiny yellow wire. I tried it just to see, and when I hit the switch, my solenoid is chattering, (not one solid CLICK)
Any thoughts?

You might consider using the true ignition wire (colored pink) to power a Bosch relay to run things off your battery connection. This way, you will be able to have power any time the ignition is on including the start position and still have circuit isolation.

There is a couple open fuse sockets in the passanger footwell that I used before. Then when I rewired mine, I used the pigtail of accessory wires that are free on the passanger footwell. It works great
