Need Opinions: nitrous wet or dry?

ok well im that really that into the whole nitrous thing or dont really know that much about it, but i know enough.. now on evos, what would be better. ive been told that a dry kit would be better but would need upgraded injectors and fuel pump.. now ive been told by others that a wet kit would be better and i wouldnt need to upgrade my injectors and it would be safer

?? im puzzled as to who really knows more as to who is right and who isnt

can anyone help me here?

with a dry system, nitrous is only sprayed into the air intake where it changes into a gas, the OEM FI is tricked into supplying more fuel to the engine which compensates for nitrous

WET: nitrous and extra fuel are injected into the air inlet through a common nozzle in which fuel and air mixture is distributed normally through the factory electronic FI

Um a wet Direct Port is the best for turbo cars, and you need to do alot of tuning an the kits are expensive, you can get a similare, but less effective effect for alot less money, Just increase the boost and get the car retuned. and a plus is you don't have to push a button. I don't know what kinda mods you got but usualy nitrous isn't realy needed for a street aplication.

If I were you I would look into Methonal (pardon the spelling) injection. I would reccommend that above anything else. More boost with less knocking, plus its half the cost.

Most people don't run nitrous on a turbo car. It makes more sense to run some race gas and turn up the boost. If you must us the nitrous use a WET kit with a fuel pressure fail safe. That way if your fuel pressure drops it will shut down the nitrous. it may just save your motor.

good luck

Suuuuuuuuuuure you are. bet you didnt do the research to back that one up. I would go with a nice alky kit. By the time your done it like 600 . much safer and cheaper

Allky is the way to go. Not too many around evom run nitrous. Basic mods, allky, crank the boost and call Al (or any other tuner with allky/meth experience) Most kits now have a bunch of saftey featues built in too.
