Default Nitrous shooting through purge non stop HELP!

Just got my nitrous hooked up. When I open the bottle the nitrous just shoots right through the purge. What could be the problem? Thanks!

Where at on the purge? The fittings? Or the hardline itself?

I know I personally tested it after it was installed and it worked fine. I was either thinking its the switch or maybe the noid is stuck open.

I disconnected the ground wire to the purge and it still went right through the purge hardline.

They put the noid on backwards. Now I just have to get some paste and fix the leak and should be good to go!

They are a pretty good shop. But, there is not way anyone tested like he said, he shouldn't have lied. I was already told it was not tested. Unless he tested it and knew it wasn't working right

First off there is always two sides to a story. Our shop rarely installs nitrous kits but being he bought the car off of us we wanted to take care of him. This past week our shop was crushed with work and we wanted to get his car done for him as promised. So we had to hire someone from outside to come to our shop to install it. The guy who did it installs nitrous kits alot so I had faith in him. Yes maybe I should have had his worked checked over but the guy told me it was setup right and it worked fine for him.
