Let's get yours going buddy ! You can do it ! And will help you out . Man, every time I fire this car up , the satisfaction and gratification one feels is a lot more than when I fire up my 1000+rwhp MKIVs.

After some careful thought , I have decided to separate the nitrous supply for the NX N-tercooler nitrous system from the NX Engine Lightning nitrous system. Here in Georgia, I have read that if you are caught with your nitrous lines for the engine open while driving on public ways, you can be cited and be given a ticket. But I would like my N-tercooler nitrous system always be ready. Since I don't have any remote bottle openners yet , I decided to separate the lines.
one line goes to the front to the n-tercooler loop
both lines coming from under the car
both lines join the fuel lines under

made sure lines are secured by zip ties
would have to put a rubber grommet on that hole to prevent any damage on the line
lines goes to separate tanks .. now I need to get a dual nitrous stand and bottle openers
AFTER I received the instructions from Jim Craig of Weldon on how to set the potentiometer for their 2345a pump , I tried using the Weldon on startup and cruising ,you could hardly hear the pump now. The Weldon 2345a enclosed in the trunk helps too. You hear it when it primes so you know that it's working but once the engine is running.. nope you don't hear it once the potentiometer is well set. Once I get into installing a sound system , I will install sound deadening / mats in the trunk to help confine the pump noise in kill mode .

ANFITTINGSDIRECT.com is the site where I bought most of my fittings and SS braided lines. It is where I found cheapest most of the fittings which can nickel and dime you. I found a few cheaper at Summitracing.com of course. So depending on what you want to do , having a good source for these stuff can help you save tons.

I figured since I am almost done on my engine bay , it's time to get it cleaner and more presentable. Decided to paint some parts and get the exposed fender well painted...
painted the heater valve , catch can and abs . I was contemplating of taking out the ABS but not now ...maybe tomorrow I will have time to paint that fender well

Did a little bit more high temp black painting
getting things dry .. that turbo exhaust is an eye sore.. I wonder what's best. I hate to spend $200 for a dei turbo blanket to match with the dei wraps i have on the manifold and downpipe.

Well , I have no more 3k3 garnett pearl paint.. need to order some before I can continue painting the other fender wheel well or other part of the engine bay. So , for today thought of working on something else on the car ..
I was thinking on how to fit in 12.50" or 13.1" wide M/T ET street radial tires so I can have better traction . I need to have the right Weld RTS offset plus of course my quarter panel fenders need some work. Either they be rolled , pulled or needing an overfender or wide body at the back .. I don't know. In as much as I can I want to avoid any major body modifications so I don't go far from being a stock look thus being a sleeper.
Decided to see how far I can go pulling that fender out. Got a 4 ton puller at harborfreight and got to work. Experimented on the car I am parting out .. .and damn .. with a few stroke , I got a pretty good pull.. or rather was able to push that fender really out. Take note that our SCs have an inner liner so those using the phonebook or bat method , all you get is being able to pull the tip of the fender which more often than not looks like a small over fender. .. so I guess the best is really pushing that inner wall outwards ..
I will experiment on the parts car and see how much pull I can get out of it.
The 4 ton puller kit
with just a few push ... got this .. am sure it can go a lot further..
