I have the type rs bov, pro fec b boost controller, and having archer replace my apex seals, and i'm going to have two boost settings, 8 psi, and 12 psi.

This is kinda along the lines of what I've been thinking about doing... :D

I got four incase I messed up somewhere. Cut the factory line off of the red "quick-connectors" using care not to damage the factory O-rings and replace with the EFI line. Install the T-fitting from the Zex kit properly so as to feed the fuel solenoid. Voila! The fuel supply is done.
My guess is that Horse will see about 240 rwhp with the nitrous on the dyno. Let's see how close I get.

Could you explian more on how you purge the lines again?I would rather save the money and get something else like a cold air intake on the same order and install it all at one time.

Well, I have to admit it is fun to show. But your method for purgeing is basicly spraying the Vapor and air in the lines intothe engine so actually you are doing the same thing if you didn't do your "purge". I suggest the purge kit to properly keep water vapor from entering the engine, after long time abuse this can damage your engine. As I said before Nitrous is only bad for the engine if you use it improperly.

I am also wrestling with whether or not I should re-circulate my BOV because I just don't like to advertise the h.p. lurking under the hood. Those Mustang and Camaro guys are easily beaten when things are nice and quiet, and I could use the cash to offset the expense of this car.

I don't see how this method of purging is a bad idea. A purge is a purge pure and simple. If you close the tank and do a quick run with the nitrous on to empty the line, it's just like running out in the middle of a race. So you run rich for a second. Big deal. I don't see how filling it back up when you go out is bad either. You need some form of purge. There's more than one way to do it. You don't necessarily need a purge valve. My friend's Z-28 has a 150 shot with no purge valve. When he starts the car up and wants to do some runs he blips the throttle a couple of times to make sure the line is full. No harm done and it works. No telltale fog for others to bitch about. That's cheatin' ya know! When people purge, they usually hold it too long to show off anyways. That's paid for horsepower getting shot out in a white mist of waste. It only takes a fraction of a second to clear out. When pressure is that high, gas travels very fast.

I'm not sure, I don't have alot of experience with computer tunning, I'm learning though I have a Haltech unit on the way for my RX-7 dragracer, I'm excited about both. I just love being able to plug right in and tune the engine. I'll probally get my sponsers to setup the map as a base map and then we can tune it from there just like we are doing with the RX-7. Well, the turbo won't be on by Friday, the deal my sponsers offered me has changed and it is actually worse than I can get it retail, so I have to do a little work with them. But either way I will have it on within the next three weeks. I'm leaving town for an event on Friday and if by Monday we haven't come to an agreement I will order it from someone else.

sorry no pics at this time currently the system is out of order, I over tightened the AN fitting and busted it so I have to get it cut off and a new one crimped on. What's the differnece between the Gold Emanage and the blue one? I have already got my E-01 and my type RS BOV this afternoon I am ordering my Greddy Turbo Kit. So I suspect since the said they have 3 in stock that I will get it about next Friday, and will be finished with install by about that Wednesday, if nothing goes wrong.

I am not sure if I ever mentioned but I did get a few runs in before the car broke and then the Nitrous lines broke. While Spraying my 1/8th mile times dropped a full second.
