What else do I need?

I will be ordering everything for my nitrous kit soon and I just wanted to know if there is anything else I should/need to order. Here's my current list of parts:

Harris Speed Works Single Nozzle Wet Kit
MSD Digital 6 Plus
MSD Digital Window Switch
Autometer Dual Gauge Pod
Autometer Fuel Pressure Gauge
Autometer Nitrous Pressure Gauge
NGK TR6 Spark Plugs
Purge Valve Kit
Blow Down Tube
Fuel Pressure Safety Switch
Harris Speed Works Switch Plate

The car already has an upgraded fuel pump. I will be using a PCM for less tune. Is that ok? Do I need a AFR gauge? Will I need larger fuel injectors? If so what size? And the car is an A4 full bolt on car with a CC305 cam and 1.6 pro magnums If that matters. Thanks guys.

-Dave

Re: What else do I need?

Hey Dave, looks like a good complete list. You'll be fine with the injectors you already have since the wet kit adds fuel via the fuel solenoid. You should be okay on the tune too, and if need be you can pull timing with the MSD Digital 6 Plus. The only thing you may want to consider is a bottle heater to keep the N2O bottle pressure up. If you have any questions with the kit give us a shout.

Thanks,
Matt

I dont know if youve already looked into it but if not then take a look at the Mallory 685 ignition. It has a built in window switch unlike the MSD that you have listed there where they are seperate.

Huh, thanks for the advice. It does everything the MSD does and the price is much better.

Re: What else do I need?

We have a similar setup and I have electric gauges and I love them. You don't have to drill such big holes.

Looks good and enjoy the N20.

Is that the only difference between the mechanical and electrical?

Electrical you are using a sending unit so all you have to do is run one wire into the car. (you run electricity to the guage)

The mechanical you have to acutully take a feed off what you are measuring and run it all the way to the guage. (you run what you are measuring to the guage)
