well i am getting mixed answers, but for the most part everyone is saying no to a dry shot??? i thought with the new dry systems they have come to be a safe and inexpensive option on the nitrous market...

so the only way to run a dry shot effectively and safely is to install a stand alone fuel mgmnt so i can regulate the fuel flow??? theres gotta be something else i can do to this car with out shelling out 5000 grand for a turbo!

i would go wet but it is too hard to hide the fact i ran nitrous if there is a warranty issue... at least with a dry shot i can hide it

no no no , you dont seem to understand, your introducing a non conventional combustion process, just using it can cause doubt in any counter claim you can make in court if you tried to sue Mitsu to fix your engine.
Nitrous aint easy on an engine.
You dont want to have that fail on you. or your screwed.

Yeah, if you blow your motor with nitrous, don't be one of those ****** that returns everything to stock and tries to con Mitsubishi into fixing it. This is why car companies hate tuners, they don't take any responsibility for their actions and they except the mother company to deal with their mistakes. Long story short, if you're concerned about warranty work, do not mod anything that might risk that. I would love to buy a 16g or 18g tomorrow but I want to keep my warranty intact in case anything happens. Once it's gone, I'll go nuts but until then, I'm happy driving a stock car knowing that if something goes wrong, Subaru is obligated to fix it. There are 3 main components to tuning, cheap, reliable and powerful. Pick two.

Tuning is expensive. You need to have money 1. mod your car 2.pay for problems that serious modifying will cause sooner or later
If you don't have that kind of money don't even consider it and don't expect warranty to cover you.

generally i wouldnt install anything over 20hp per cylinder on stock internals. 2.0L=4cyl=80hp shot.
most kits are designed for 50,75,100,125 etc..... i would NOT run a 75 dry shot on my car a wet shot is a different story. i have used Zex kits before and have not had any trouble. i say pass on the dry unless it is a really good deal, then i would run the 50hp set up. imo i would only run a wet shot. either way have fun

thats about the extent of it. a wet kit adds a mixture of NO2 and fuel into your TB where as the dry just adds the nitrous

^^ no, i have heard too many arguments leaning towards no dry nitrous kits allowed, and i am not going to go through the installation process of a wet kit when it might be something i spray a half dozen times

well you can go and tune it N/A .. get lots of bored out parts and doner parts to see what its capable of without forced induction ... which is my plan atm... though it will probably cost you more then 5g's to get some decent speed and it still wont match up to a turbo power wise on the dyno... but theres more to n/a modding than just hp.
