It wont cool your turbo because the intercooler cools the air that passes through the intercooler. When you are idling, very little air is passing through the IC, just what the car need to idle with. Plus, the IC is after the turbo so the air that passes through it doest pass through the turbo, it goes right into the intake manifold. The air goes to the IC from the turbo.

nitrous is not a liquid at ambient air pressure.... So, no is the answer. :P

I'm curious as to when the damn thing sprays in auto mode? I put it in auto but it's not supposed to spray until driven hard or as needed. BUT the problem is when I'm pushing it it's too darn loud to hear if it's going off or not. I had it on auto at the track but don't know if it was using it. I checked the reservoir in the trunk at it's still full. Anyone have any idea when it's supposed to activate in auto mode?

I thought auto was that is sprays for 2 seconds in 5 second incriments. So, theoretically, if you push auto you should be able to step out of your car and see it spraying intermittently.

It doesnt look like that NX system actually sprays into atm to me. It looks as though it uses a cooling tube for the n2o to travel through. Maybe Im wrong though. Unlesss that bar has a bunch of small holes in it I would imagine that this doohickey mounts up against the IC to help cool down some of the fins?
