Sstolen, Nitrous filters are the best insurance for not getting trash in your noids, they are reasonably cheap and available from most nitrous companies such as ourselves, We stock them at all times. ( other guys) The FPSS is is just another safety feature in a long line of safety devices to keep your car togethor, unfortuanately it cant make your entire system safe. Thats the reason window switches, FPSS, purge kits etc have been created. Ive seen one company in here that has a A/F safety device that cuts the kit off if it reads too lean, again a great safety feature. The best thing to think about is you get what you pay for, IE. If you just purchase a nitrous kit thats all you have, a nitrous kit. If you purchase a nitrous kit and all the fail safes then you have that, A safe nitrous kit. Hope this helps guys.

I just looked at you site for the filters. I have the NX EFI kit. Which filter kit do I need the 15607 or 15610?

Dynotune has a A/F ratio switch that they just redesigned. It used to cut off if you went to rich or to lean while spraying(it read of your 02 sensors/milivolts) but since a lot of people run rich especially when spraying they redesigned it to only cut off when you run lean! It comes with a red led light that goes in your dash that comes on when you go lean or rich(different patterns for each) so you know whats going on! Ill be geting this instead of the FPSS because it does what the FPSS does and more!

SSTOLEN if you have the -4 line then you need the 15607 the 15610 is for -6 lines. I would assume your kit is the 20920-10 single nozzle system. That one requires the 15607.

Am I the only one using one of these?

It screws right into the solenoid. Although, I have a big NX filter on my fill station, and blowing through it by mouth it's alot less restrictive, but probably not enough to affect my little 100-shot system.

every FPSS i have seen is adjustable.

There is a rubber cap you remove, and a screw you adjust.
