depends what nos set up you have. I would definatley recommend a progressive controller for anything over 50bhp

Direct port with progressive controller is the way to go. Uprate your head gasket, con rod bolts and spark plugs first though and limit the hit to 50bhp.

For 50bhp you dont have to do any of the above

You might not 'have' to, but I certainly wouldn't risk any ammount of NOS without the above done as a minimum.

Thats fine you're entitled to your opinion!! I have been running n2o for over 6 months and had no problems what so ever. 3CM take it you saw the rapid diesel golf on top gear then?

Not yet fella, planned very soon tho
Wizard of Nos say you get around 46bhp output with 50bhp shot

I was thinking about a 15bhp per cylinder direct port nitrous system for the Coupé. Should see me into the high 13's on the 1/4 mile.

I forgot to ask how long does your bottle last in every day use (like u would normally use it) and how long does it last if your just constantly gunning it with your 50 bhp shot?
I must admit I did like the way they had it set up in that golf, a switch to turn it on and off and only when its on and you have your foot down it engages - hence stops u accidently wasting it.

This is pretty much the way all systems are set up!! Mine is
I dont really use mine all that much to be honest but goes fairly quickly
