Default Should we have done this?

Accord94dx and I just installed an NOS dry kit onto a boosted LS running 5 psi and looking at 7 psi in the future. Now the install went fine, we troubleshooted some minor problems and were out of the garage by 1AM. My question though is does anyone know of anyone the has run a dry kit with a turbo kit? I'm kind of worried about how the vortech FMU and the nitrous kit vaccuum line(Both of which are T'd into the vaccuum line that goes from the fpr to the intake manifold) are going to affect each other. I just need some reassurance before we put this thing on a dyno.

You can allways use different sources of vaccum for each...

I may be wrong but wouldnt that vacum line get boost and there for not work like its suposed to for the N2o? its vacume operated right?
edit: doesnt that vac line from the kit go to the fpr to raise the fuel pressure so you dont run lean? would it work if that line is under boost? i dont get it! straighten me out!!!!!

Last I checked you wern't supposed to use a dry kit with a turbo period. Wet only is recommended.

You will be better off tuning your car with more boost, and shooting that nitrous onto the intercooler.. In my opinion, there is no reason to ever inject nitrous into a boosted car.. If you are, you more than likely are running the wrong turbo for your needs..

If your reason is to aid spool, get yourself a good LSD, and launch harder..

Just my exsperience..
