Mounting inside the passenger compartment... it is recommended to install a blowdown tube.

I never use the T-tops, so I have a 15lb. bottle and NANO 3000 mounted sideways across the T-top holder. I used 8AN stainless braided line for the blowdown, cut a hole in the plastic, and out the bottom of the spare tire drain grommet. I tilt the bottle slightly so the pickup is in the back and I've never had any problems. Easy access and works great. I ran the mainline, as most guys do, inside the car along the passenger sill and into the engine compartment through the PCM grommet behind the glovebox.

I have mine mounted on the tranny tunnel. Rear seats can still go in and all the lines are hidden. It's nice to be able to reach the bottle from the drivers seat and see the pressure gauge.

I have a tunnel mount bracket from HSW. I think some of the other vendors have them as well. The feed line routes under the seat bucket and through a grommet under the car.

I think having on tunnel looks sick just wasn't for me. I have remote bottle opener and n20 pressure gauge on pillar. Well I should say I did have it there. There's a boost gauge in it's location now. But I won't be out of the n20 game for long hopefully.
