Default Urgent help needed with blow-down tube

I've purchased from a member Dynotune kit with Nitrous outlet Quick release blow-down tube. I think there's some adapter missing. I need to install blow-down tube before saturday.
Please look at the pic and tell me what do I need.
What is this 3000psi plug on the valve body? Do I have to install blow-down tube in this place? Can I take it out with bottle being full?

Here's link to blow-down tube:

Bottles don't come with the adapter, that needs to be purchased seperatly, and need to be installed on an empty bottle.
Here is the adapter you need:

And when you install it, read the directions, it needs to be tightened to a specific torque, which is actually quite low. If you overtighten it it will blow the first time you fill the bottle.

This adapter is rated at 3000psi, the same as the plug I have? Maybe then I could put some tube on top of my plug and be done, this would be essentially the same? As a temp solution, of course; I will order this adapter but I need this all done before saturday

This will work well for you but must be installed on an empty bottle!!!!

You cannot add a tube to the fitting that is on - I would not try to micky mouse it. We ship USPS 2 day priority mail for all items except 5 or 10# bottles. Order today you will have it on Friday and be good to go for the weekend as long as you are in the US! USPS hits the 2 days 95% of the time so the odds are good!

I'm in Latvia, that's a minimum of 6 days... And bottle is full anyway (about $100 here).
What I meant is, put a fat rubber pipe over the current plug, so if "plug" explodes at 3000psi, nitrous would mostly go down that pipe? Or am I getting it completely wrong?
Thank you

Just borrow a bottle with a blow off valve to "tech in" then run your bottle . works here.... a good tech gy will check for a blow down tube. most of the time tis the only thing they tech for.

Hide the bottle in the spare tire well, disconnect the main line and leave it in your back seat, and tell the tech guy you don't have the bottle today you couldn't get it filled in time for the track.

Then once your in the pits hook it back up and your ready to rock

Can't you find a welder or hose shop make you one? It's just a tube you need to get the gas out of the car in case it goes off, right? Get an AN fitting that fits the valve, bend a piece of steel tube and have the tube welded to the fitting. Probably cheaper than buying one and paying shipping.
