why not NX ? NX brackets and solenoids are stronger and cleaner (steel) than the NOS brackets (plastic)...
ZEX? no way... i've heard tons of complaints...

Hey,
What do you think about your turbo? Was it worth the money? The new ananodized blue on the NOS bottles is sweet. I was having a hard trying to come up with a second color for the fiberglass speaker encloser in my trunk, and the NOS blue gave me that color!!!

If you want a safe setup......you might wanna consider the Venom VCN 2000.....it's pricey though.....from $1250.00-$1400.00.....It's a pretty sophisticated system...It has these control modules that engages the nitrous at ONLY optimum conditions....it takes 4 hours to install, about the same time it takes to install an SF Turbo Kit.....10 LB bottle, adjustable valve(25-180 HP), two control processors, dash display(red, blue, gold, or purple), control solenoid, and some other stuff........I'm gonna get me one!!!

imo its overpriced and over rated. most big name kits these days are idiot proof, you would have to be a complete ***** to screw something up when using it.
