Default NOS install

Just like every other mod on this car, another brickwall has appeared... This time while trying to install NOS. The IS350 has a fuel feed line on each side of the motor and the return line is on the passenger side. Others on CL have tapped into the drivers side but before I cut into this $130 hard line I asked a mechanic at lexus just to be certain and he said we should definetly tap into the passenger side but didnt really have a clear explination for his adamacy. Does anybody have a real clear answer on this?
Thanks...

They don't each run to a separate bank? I must've hit my head on the hood when I was yanking my engine cover.
Everyone else runs drivers side so far as I know and it's been working out fine. But...he's not a Lexus mechanic for no reason....

Your absolutely right but this lex mechanic was pretty insistant about it. You see medical marijuana is legal and easily obtainable here in California so this is something that has to be taken into concideration before just blindly trusting a strangers opinion/judgement. His explination was that one side was cold and the other was hot. WTF? Just wanted to see if anybody knew if there was any validity to this theory before I start cutting...

I've never fooled around with a nitrous kit before, but what I don't understand is why you are tapping into the fuel delivery system (fuel rail) and not the intake? Exactly what kit do you have? Dry or wet? What size jets you gonna use?
