NX Kit Wiring Check!! Ok guys this is my first nitrous setup 
!!! I have made a wiring diagram with the equipment I have. It was a little confusing to me at first but I think I finally got it. Attached is the diag I made, and i was just wondering if someone could look it over real quick and let me know if I am missing any thing. I am mostly concerned with the MSD switch. I think I got it right, but it doesnt hurt to ask.
Thanx in advance...

Looking at the Drawing again the switch panel should be keyed 12 volts, not a constant.. Always used a keyed source on control wires.
Thanks Macon for bringing that to my attention.
It would work but keyed is better.

My self I always run purge noid and bottle opener through relays for safety. I don't want the amp load going thru my switches (and you don't want your keyed 12v source powering extras to much combined load?). NX dosen't do it this way? I also run a fuse to each supplied amp load 12v going to realays? The tach/shift light is the tach input from PCM, right, light can tap in there, but just clarify for those reading along.

Robert no need for a relay with a remote bottle opener, with the NX style too much of a head ache to hook up relays and since the thing does not draw but a few amps.. And the purge now only pulls 3-8 amps depending on mfg, and the switch panel Nskoz is using has good amp carring switches...
If using a large noid like Nitrous Outlets, big show or Dynotunes big purge then yes you need a relay.
And final all high amp load should have a proper breaker on it, low amp stuff pull from a keyed 12volt with a 10amp fuse is more than enough. When whas the last time you opened your bottle and had the purge pushed at the same time...

Man you guys know your wiring... I never really considered how many amps I would be pulling with the this setup... but its good to know that it looks like I am on the right track. I will be putting fuses for each 12volt hook up I do, just wasnt sure if it was worth the effort at first... Thanx Ricky and Macon for all your info.... me's appreciate it.
