Default Nitrous problem

i just put a hsw plate kit on an '05 gto i also installed the hsw micro edge controller, when the nitrous is being sprayed it feels like it is surging, almost like it has a progressive on it. its like it is not spraying it steady, i have checked the grounds which are on the cylinder heads, and looked everyting over, and i dont see anything, before i go crazy i just wanted to see if anyone else has ran into this problem. and the bottle is mounted correctly so i dont that is a problem, thanks

How's the bottle pressure? Eliminate the micro edge and see if the problem still arises.

Jump over and fill out a support ticket. We'll have you reset the microedge to eliminate any settings that could be causing the surging effect.

You also might think about changing the grounds to a good chassis ground.

I did eliminate the controller and the problem is still there, and i have also changed the grounds, no difference. i have installed 10 or more nitrous kits, and have never ran into a problem like this before???

Guys, check your settings. 99% of the time its because something isn't set correctly in your settings or the TPS value has changed, etc. If you have a problem try contacting us directly.
