Default NOS Remote Opener Poll

Just want to find out how many people who have used it have had problems with it IE: not opening all the way, leaking, sticking, etc.

I rebuiltmine once after a long period of use. Very reliable. Expensive plunger though like 50 bucks if I remember correctly.

I had one and it sucked. Caused my car to surge. I know of a lot of people who have had it and hated it. Others have no problems.

There seems to be two types that I'm seeing on ebay. One that just looks like a small N2O noid, smaller than the NOS N2O noid, and one that looks like a noid with something on top that I'm not sure what it is. The one with the thing on top looks to be the newer kind and the one on the NOS website.

Yea, but it's 2 bills. The NOS ones are half that. It appears pretty split as to people who have had problems with them though so.....

Half-price... but then first fails, get a second one.
Than that one fails and your pissed... and go get the DynoTune one.
btw, I received the DynoTune not long time ago and can't wait to install it.
If you wish to throw $$$ in the trash can, go ahead... but you might as well end up with the less remote opener = hand.

Mine stopped working withing 2 weeks of installing it. Sent it back for a replacement, this one will open the bottle, but after a run won't close it... I wish I'd got one with a little more umph.

I am suspicious that mine may be interrupting the flow. I have a dry system that goes into a clear air lid so I have watched the flow several times while on a dyno and it often will temporarily "cut-out" for a split second. Maybe by coincidence my bottle was low, but if it was, then it was probably due to the remote opener leaking since I hadn't sprayed it that much since the last refill.
