Default can somebody explain nos, wet and dry difference?

i kno its puts alot of pressure on ur internals and not all cars can handel it stock

all i kno nitirous is relased into the intake then introduced to the engine, it just cools the air introduced to the combustion?

Default It does a bit more then just cool the air

that is why you need to add more fuel and less adv timing when using nitrous.

Default In a nutshell...

Nitrous Oxide simply adds more oxygen to your combustion chamber, which in turn requires more fuel. A wet kit injects Nitrous AND fuel together, from 2 seperate solenoids. A dry kit injects only Nitrous, from a single solenoid, and relies on your car's ECU to adjust the amount of fuel accordingly. IMHO, wet is the way to go. Add a Nitrous controller, like Jacobs' Mastermind, for more control of your Nitrous delivery, and it's definitely a safe, reliable way to make power, though a lot of people on AW won't agree with that safe statement. Just my opinion.

Default Just not a good idea when using nos and a high boosting turbo at the same time.

Just too much pressure being put inside that cylinder.

True. But when used in moderation, it is safe, IMO.
