On another note what is everyone paying for nitrous? One guy quoted me $60 to fill my bottle but that seems high to me??

Will this work on a piranha nozzle? Remember this is a turbo engine with 3" tubing going into the tb. Think I need to get the nozzle as close to center of the pipe as possible? Or should I go to the hardware store and find something that will work? The threads on the piranha are 1/8" npt correct?
Don't have a tig welder that will weld aluminum so weld on bung is not an option (although I know that'd be the best route).

You really need to have at least this much of the nozzle protruding. Either tap the pipe itself or keep on grinding! If you don't have it sticking out enough you could generate reversion and thats a no-no.

So you don't think the nozzle protrudes through the pipe enough? I guess I could grind down the piece of brass inside the pipe to give it a little more clearance? I'm surprised you'll don't offer a bung for this nozzle. Don't think drilling and tapping for the nozzle is an option for me because I want a clean look and not have to worry with boost leaks. Maybe I should bench test it and make a video to post on here.

As long as the bathtub is flush or sticking past a little then you should be fine.
From the pic it looks like your very close to being good to go.
This is ideal....

Absolutely. You can run that system as dry. We also have a dry system for around the same price that includes the upgraded lightning solenoid. The proton box basically just houses the 2 solenoids inside.
Here is a link to that dry system, let me know if you need forum pricing on these items.
