Wet, thats what I had, and I'll be going to direct port sometime when I get the money for the new setup.

Wet is when you tap in fuel from the fuel rail and shoot nitrous and fuel in after the MAF.

Dry is when you shoot nitrous at the MAF, it picks up colder air, and extra oxygen coming in and uses the fuel injectors to add in extra fuel.

Wet pro's:
1)Harder initial hit, or better feel.
2)Takes the strain off of the fuel injectors to add in fuel, so you won't have to buy bigger ones, and if a fuel injector locks up on the bottle, you won't loose a cylinder.
Wet con's:
1)Remote chance of fuel pooling up in the intake manifold, a purge kit helps solve this. Most people thing a nitrous backfire is when fuel pools up in the intake manifold and explodes, almost no nitrous backfire cases are caused by pooling fuel.
2)Harder to hide.

Dry pro's:
1)Easy to hide, since you don't have to plumb the fuel rail for the wet side. If you try to hide a wet kit, if your getting fuel from the fuel rail, anyone who knows there stuff can look at it and know your running the bottle.
2)Costs a little less.
Dry con's:
1)Won't hit as hard as a wet kit, won't feel as cool.
2)If something goes wrong with a fuel injector, or they arn't big enough for the shot your running. Badness will insue.

Probably if you asked or searched for this in the Nitrous forum, you'd get more answers.
