NX N20 pressure guage.

Can I use this in the dash? How can I hook it up there? If not, what is the cheapest route of getting a guage for the N20 up there. I would rather not buy another gauge, but if I HAVE to, show me the light!

You would need some nitrous (high pressure) line to feed the gauge. Otherwise you'll need an electric pressure gauge (big bucks).

Why is it I have never seen anyone use their supplied NX pressure gauge in the cockpit? How would I hook this up? Could from the solinoid?

Because you'd have a nitrous line pointing at your face .

Electrical is just expensive. That's the only drawback.

But I see people with mechanical gauges all the time in their cab, I was just wondering why no one uses the gauge that comes with the NX kit.

there is no lighting on them so you cannot see them at night.

What all would I need to hook it up in the front of the car?

If you are going to mount a mechanical nitrous pressure gauge inside the car, be sure to use the correct "flow limiting" fitting at the main nitrous line connection. This is a solid fitting with a very small diameter hole drilled in it, to prevent excess nitrous flow into the passenger compartment, in the event the line or the gauge breaks.
