    NOS kit best methods?

    Just wondering if I was to fit NOS then what would be the best way - wet kit - dry?

    Would it work without changing the map? Is a forged engine a pre-requisite?

    I am hoping the IATs will decrease?

    I'm not using a forged engine, you must use a wet kit and a good nitrous controller if your new to nitrous, map shouldn't be affected. I just use a WOT switch, but I'v been using nitrous for 30years

    I think its a map for running nos if not maybe a progreesor switch on the throttle would be a safer way?

    Do you want a prize or sumat? You may well have sown the seed - but it is I that will do the deed.

    That's if it is worth blowing the top off my engine to keep Frankie behind me!

    Lmao, so what's your intention then Dave, progressive with the throttle (although you gotta be mad or brave to wanna link anything other than C4 to an ME7 throttle lol) or a Fast n Furious style big red button on the steering wheel?
