Angry Damn Compucar changed their design!

I bought a compucar system a couple weeks ago and I accidentally cracked the tB plate. I ordered a new one and when it arrived I find out they changed the design so that instead of using standar flare jets, it now uses inverted flare jets! Pisses me off even more since I had just bought a set of 8 jets for it off ebay, plus the couple I already had. Now I either have to find a -3AN flare to inverted flare adapter or sell my jets and by new one! Why the hell would they do this? Dumbasses!

honestly, I think that's BS. There is not much to a nitrous system to have problems. It's nothing beyond solenoids, switches, relays and a method for getting the juice into the motor. What could they "have problems with" ?? The solenoids? What makes theirs different from anyone else's? The only thing they do different is the TB plate behind the throttle boy with spray bars for fuel and nitrous. Is that what cause the problems? Can't see how that can be worse than sticking a nozzle into the intake elbow....

So if I sold it, what would I get to replace it? Another set of switches, relays, solenoids, etc? Sounds like a lot of work for no real change in what I have... Worst case scenario I could skip my TB plate and get a mixer nozzle to put into the intake elbow and then just change the stickers on the bottle and solenoids and call it another name...

FYI,not all solenoids are built the same. I havenyt seen compucar in a while,but i know NX uses a much better solenoid then most of the NOS kits.
