Is the nitrous blow down tube really need or not? I been running nitrous for 3months and have had no problem with it but just wonder is I really need it or not. Also do you guys think I should buy a heater blanket? I check my nitrous pressure and has never drop when im racing or just waiting for a race. It alwasy maintain it self between 950-1050 and the bottle in my trunk. Well let me know what you think guys.

 

The blow down tube is really only needed at the track, as for the heater. I live in miami and still have one, great for cold days to get the psi up to 1100

 

If you own a 4th gen or 3rd gen I would definately go with a blow down tube. You dont want your entire cabin filled with nitrous in the event that the small piece of foil which holds the nitrous in the bottle decides to break.

 

If the bottle is in the passenger compartment - e.g. hatch well, or spare tire well - you need the blowdown tube. As mentioned above, if the bottle overpressures, the rupture disc in bottle safety cap blows and your car is filled with a cloud of nitrous.... it displaces the air, and asphyxiates you. And if that's not bad enough, the subcooling due to the rapid release of pressure causes the moisture in the air to condense, forming a cloud in the car that you can't see through.

Cheap insurance.

 

Wow, that sounds cool!
