    NITROUS PURGE:

    OK.... I sort of cheated on this one. I have my solenoids right behind the drivers side headlight. I didn't want to run it back to the cowl, or to figure a way to use flex lines and purge through the ram air nostrils. I took advantage of the fact that my SLP hood seems to be about 1/8" shorter than is should be, and I located the twin purge lines (3/16" copper) in the gap between the back edge of the bumper cover and the leading edge of the hood. Ran a single line from the main nitrous line to a "tee" mounted on a custom bracket that attaches where the airbag decel sensor used to be mounted, and then a pair of copper lines under the front bumper support and up through the back edge, down in the gap. The lines disharge upwards in a slight "V", with the lines on the centerlines the ram air nostrils. The first time I tried it, it was a really humid day, and there was a visible plume about 6' above the bumper. Yesterday, with the warm, dry air, it wasn't real visible.
    Nice. I had a bit of a time getting the hoses to work with my purge. I used a piece of clear, plastic flex hose to go from the solenoid (which is mounted to the rear of the engine under the cowl) up to the hood. I drilled a couple of holes in the hood support bracing and ran the hose through the bracing so it there isnt an ugly plastic hose running along the underside of the hood. I covered the one foot section of exposed plastic tubing in flexible metal-mesh hosing to make it look better. The rest of the tubing is in copper and it runs around the airbox to the hood scoops.......it was a PITA, but it works nice. Sounds like you found an easier way.

    My purge shoots out in front of the car instead of up in the air, so it gives the "snorting dragon" effect out of the scoops. I have the same results with my purge on a dry day - it isnt visible for much more than a foot or so out the scoops.....but is much more visible when its more humid.
