Default Where to hook up Nitrous Pressure Gauge

Those of you with an in car Nitrous Pressure gauge, Wondering if you wired it up at the Bottle or coming off a solenoid. What are the Pro's and Con's of each.

well most wire it up at the bottle because u usually want to monitor pressure at the bottle because they are usually closed.

Bottle should have a gauge on it and not be open until you're going to make a pass, I put the gauge sending unit as close to the purge solenoids/system so that when purging you can make sure the line is clear, and you see the operating pressure the solenoids are seeing when logging

So an in-car gauge isn't entirely necessary?

No not necessary, but it is nice. Mine is in the a-pillar area and it's nice to be able to see it right in front of me

Yes because the whole point of my remote bottle opener is so that I never have to leave my drivers seat when using my nitrous.

if u turn the heater on and just look to see if its in the green before u use it then ur good. my opinion not worth the 200 some dollars for a pillar gauge for pretty much just looks
