Hello all,
My name is Alex and I'm currently in the beginnings of installing a NOS-to-WON conversion kit to my Chevrolet Sonic 1.4L turbo. I believe the engine is of Vauxhall origin (info gathered from the ever righteous internet).
While I'm not completely new to nitrous, I am new to using nitrous CORRECTLY. I don't want past knowledge and experience, which is tainted by U.S. company and forum information, to hinder my new learning experience here in the School of NOSwarts!
So here we go!
Here is the overall location for the Pulsoids. They are away from the exhaust system and most high heat components. I had to keep in mind the location of the injector for the fluids to have the shortest routing possible and also avoid the brake fluid reservoir.

Pulsoids are mounted to a removable plate where the computer mounts to. It's replaceable from the manufacturer and easy to modify and manipulate. Remember, it is a mock-up so the computer is not secured to the plate!

I'm still waiting for a fuel supply hose to draw fuel for the Pulsoid, some NGK 7 plugs (non-projected), and a retainer for the injector so I'm a bit on hold for that.
Fortunately that's the minor stuff, though I hit a bit of a snag during the mock-up. While attaching the pulsoids to the supplied mounting brackets, the top of the coil that threads into the CNC body came loose and it turned about 1/4 turn from it's factory position. I tightened it back up (by hand but good and tight) to put it back where it was but I can't be 100% certain that it's in the position that it was as delivered. I know the adjustment screw under the jet holder is calibrated, but I just want to be sure that the coil top is not of high calibration as well.
Should I return it to WON to have it inspected, torque the cap to a specific value (I have those tools and expertise), or will a good tightening be sufficient?
I did read the X-10 manual and optimization process and there was no mention of this so I thought I'd better ask. I always ask and NEVER assume.

By the way, I compared this kit to the old NOS and a Dynotune one that I have and the quality of WON is of no comparison. I made the right choice. Thanks, Trev, your battles on other forums made me take a GOOD look into your products and the TRUTH of NITROUS!
