Default HSW kit just came in. Few questions

Hey, hopefully someone from HSW will read this. My kit just came in and I was reading through the packet that came with it. I ordered the dual nozzle dry kit (sudden impact). It looks as though a T fitting wasnt shipped with the rest of the kit. The solenoid has 2 fittings on it, both are single inlet/outlet. I'm not terribly sure (correct me if I'm wrong) but the T fitting goes on the bottom of the solenoid right? If so then mine was shipped with the wrong part. It just has the fitting that only allows one nitrous line to be attached. Also the guage that mounts to the nitrous bottle, is it supposed to be liquid filled? mine looks like its half filled, theres a giant bubble in front of the guage face. Is it defective or is that how its supposed to be?

I'll take a look at it on Monday and get the T out to you, correct the T goes on the bottom of the solenoid.

Guage is liguid filled & not all the way, so that is correct.

Thanks I appreciate it. Aside from that everyhting looks good. I havent tore into the packaging yet but it appears as though everything else is there. The bottle has some scuffs on it but I guess thats ok. It looks as though the bottle brackets will be putting a fair amount of scratches on the bottle in due time anyhow.

Yep all liquid filled gauges from every manufacturer are like that.

Thanks. I've just never seen a liquid filled gauge before.

Another question. I know theres the spare tire mount option but seeing as how I do drive this car a bit in the summer I'd like to keep the spare tire along for emergencies. Has anyone been able to install this on the opposite side, where my stock cd changer is? Removing the cd changer is no problem since I use my ipod anyway. Is there enough room back there?
