I could see the WS in console. But the gauge under my coffee daily wouldnt work, nor would it be too convenient at the track for checking pressure. Stealthly yes, but then the HUGE red switches ontop of the asstray cover blow stealth out the window!

I hope he's not done with the engine bay, it looks crappy with wires and solenoids everywhere. They make black convolute tubing for a reason.

I have my stuff in my console as well. I will post a pic when I get home.

My window switch, purge button, arming switch, and electronic TPS (harrisspeedworks) are in my center console. When I am not using the nitrous I have a small black shelf plate type of thing that I put over the switches, so it is fully useable as a regular console without worrying about bumping a switch.

Im glad to see that your freind bought a quality nitrous system. I would like to stress the importance of a clean install area when doing a nitrous install. Any small spec of dirt or debris could cause the solenoid to hang open. With a dirty work area it is easy to pic up this dirt in the fittings or lines. Tell him to blow the hoses out good before putting pressure into the system. You guys keep up the good work and have fun.

I do like the switch set-up...but what about the guage? What if you want to put a cool-one there

Tell your buddy $5 bucks including a can of Gunk at a car wash(any maybe 10 minutes) would take care of that filthy engine bay

i like the console and all, but the overall look of it under the hood is just too messy for me, even if the engine bay was spick and span. I couldn't stand having those lines everywhere. just my .02.
