    Why you should properly tune your nitrous system.

    http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2033080

    it ran fine, and i guesss i was at too low an RPM and got a hiccup or backfire somehow. but for a 75hp wet shot, it did a hell of a lot of damage. could have been worse i suppose, i'm still alive and not the least bit dissuaded.
    Pics are too big or I'd link them.

    It's a VR6 swapped into a MK2 Volkswagen. It's a 15* V6 with a single DOHC head.

    didn't i post a vid about a ~99 mustang cobra blowing up cause of a nitrous huccup?(on the dyno).......yeah that is a why bad tuning on nitrous can do to a car, specially if you shoot it at less than 3000 rpm's.

    strange engine by the way, never though there was such thing as V6 with single head.

    That's no fun -- I was expecting a fireball the size of the Hindenburg or something.
