Just a note: Wiring Nitrous, guages, other electrical items
I just went over my wiring for my nitrous and accessories. I found 3-4 problems and they were directly related to sub-par connectors used during the install. I strongly recommend soldering your wiring connections. Do not even think about using the red or blue splice connectors from radio shack or provided with any kit. Take an extra few minutes and solder all of the connections and use heatshrink tubing around the wires.

VERY GOOD Advice! I just did most of the wiring for mine - The NX kit is awesome, but the connectors are the .39 cent Radio Shack Type - they do not look too sturdy.

The wire slice connectors that they supplied melted and caused and eratic connection. Solder everything. I used a wire splicer to move the silicone casing and expose 1/4" of wire, wrapped the new wire and soldered it into place. Covered the wires with heat shrink tubing. Do not use those cheap connectors unless you intend on redoing the wiring. Do it once and do it right.
