Default Purge question

Alright this is probably a complete noob question but I've tried using the search with no luck. How do you get the nice white cloud basically for show with the purge?

Get a full bottle up to 900psi, then let it rip.

So you dont have to have a bigger line for the purge to allow more flow or anything? I have the hsw kit and purge but it just sprays a light burst at 1000psi. I dont just hold it down forever, is that what your saying just hold the purge down and there ya go?

Hit it about 4 times in a row with fairly short bursts.

What size is your purge line? I noticed my line from nitrou dave was tappered down at the end. After I cut the line to lenth I had more of an opening. Other than that you just need nitrous in the line and bottle pressure.

are you going with a single outlet ? If you are going with a dual you need the line to be 3/16 to the Y and 1/8 out . Thats what i do on the most systems i do if you need to adjust the angle of the outlet take a drill bit that will fit inside of it and you can bend it some for fine tunning. Copper line is what most use on the 1/8 side

Make a nice straight cut on the purge line, don't try to bend the end to make a nozzle. It flows the best with just a clean cut.
