Finishing up my kit tonight and I wired the fpss up like this: one side to ground, other side to the ground on the solenoids incl. the purge solenoid, will it work like this I've got a couple of wiring diagrams that are alittle different. By the way, its all NX stuff.

Didn't you get that diagram I sent you? Should have showed you everything you need. You really only need to wire it in series w/N2O solenoid. You shouldn't wire it into the purge sol. though.

Yea Skip I got your diagram thanks alot, it helped out. It looks like that was what your diagram said, but the diagram from NX said to wire it to the white wire from the relay, I ran the white wire to the arming switch per your diagram.
Sorry for all the questions, I'm not that comfy with the wiring yet, I had it all down untill I through the window switch in and then I got confused as hell(up to late).
Why is it not a good idea to wire in the purge solenoid with the others?
I wouldnt even think about doing this without this board, thanks again guys.
P.S. Is it wrong the way I have it or what?

You can hook all the solenoid grounds together, that's okay but the FPSS should be hooked only to the nitrous solenoid. Don't use the FPSS as a path to ground for ALL the solenoids.(I think that's what you are doing isn't it?)As far as "Why is it not a good idea to wire in the purge solenoid with the others?" goes, I look at the purge as a separate deal so I just hooked mine up separate. I suppose you can hook all the solenoid grounds together though.
Don't worry about all the questions, better to err on the side of caution than to fry something!!!As far as the Window switch goes, you'd better make sure you run it like my diagram shows!!! The window switch contact is only rated at 1.5 amps and the solenoids pull about 7.5 amps each. If you want I can draw up a little better diagram for you. Shoot me an e-mail if you want.
Good Luck
