By the way, be prepared for boost creep with a stockish turbo. You're going to be getting a significant bump in exhaust volume.

I'm expecting that. If it's to bad ill build a dual stage that drops the boost when the nitrous system is armed.
That may or may not help. A better move would be to be prepared to for the boost increase with a 3 bar calibration. Bad things could happen if you hit boost cutout with nitrous activated.

That is a VERY good point! The car is actually a 89 VNT. I've yet to find boost cut. But I will be clamping the map. The extra fuel can be easily added on the fuel side of the kit.

^^ That's very true. With the reduced lag time using nitrous, you won't have to wait too long to bring the a/f ratios back in check.
Port the wastegate hole.
Also, you could just T off the stock fuel feed line to feed the nitrous system. This is how it was done on Rick Lozier's 3.0 nitrous car. Just make sure it's jetted for your fuel pressure.
I have also seen guys use the old overflow tank or the washer fluid tank as the reservoir for standalone setups. Pump gets triggered with the nitrous.
Personal experience is boost going up no more than 3 psi when using an 80 hp jet. Anyone seen more than that?
