Nitrous Blow Down Tube

For people with nitrous and put blow down tubes on. How big did u drill the hole and how did u seal that hole around the tube to keep moisture and water from getting in the trunk. Starting to install everything tomorrow so I might have a few questions later on in the day. Also, anyone see any problems with running the nitrous feed line down through the center console by the shifter or is it too many sharp bends? Thanks

I never bothered to install mine because I didnt feel like drilling another hole and the track I go to doesnt require one. As far as running the line...This is how I did it... I ran the line down the passenger side panel. That is the easiest way IMO because all you have to do is pull out the panel and snap it back in and bolt the seatbelt back after you're done and theres already a hole in the firewall with a wiring harness already running through it on that side for you. Just bust a hole through the insulation with a screw driver and you're done.

Well I know for a fact my track does care about having that tube because my friend didn't pass tech without it and I cant' get ahole of them. I might just drill for now and worry about sealing it later. Does any one have any ideas about sealing it?

You can try a tube of silicone? Honestly, though I wouldnt even worry about sealing it though. Its definitely your choice though.

Yea well today I got all the hardware on and hooked up. All thats left to do is wire everything. I will do all that later this week. I also decided to run my nitrous line right through the center console. I used the existing hole I made from running wires for my amp. Worked out great. How would you rate the wiring on difficulty of 1-10. Im sorta scared of all that...

Wiring is never really that difficult, just tedious.

since yours is ex model, instead of drilling a hole, why don't you just take off one of the tabs that hold the cargo net. Just unscrew and walah! there is a hole. I dont know if its big enough for the blow down tube because I never got into it, but the hole routes outside.

I ran my nitrous feed line through the passanger side as well.
