   Hey guys, just after a bit of advice. I have fitted in my nitrous kit and have got to the part of cutting in to my fuel pipe and inserting the t-piece.
   
   I have a couple of questions:
   
   1) Does the barbed t-piece alone not leak fuel? do i need to use a seal of some kind?
   
   2) Any pics of your fuel pipe cut in would be brill.

   id imagine...and this is only what i can deduce form the VERY limited info youve given, the barbed t piece is for rubber type lines...not the plastic type fitted to saxos and most cars tbh
   
   but there again that could be total bollox as i have no idea at all what kit or t piece your using etc etc etc

   i heated my oem pipe up with a heat gun and wrapped it tight around the barbed bit. Not had any problems

   not got nitrous on my saxo but have fitted it to a few cars and I have run it on my civic.
   
   The t piece should have a jubilee clip around each hose on it to clap them tight. Don't think i would fit a t piece to saxo fuel lines as i can see the plastic type hose splitting easy as there is very little flex in it. Possibly swap the engine bay fuel line to rubber hose and will probs make your job a hell of a lot easier and safer.

   by t-piece do you mean one of these or is it the plastic sort?
   
   
   As for the other bloke there are a hell of a lot of factors to what power gains it will give so no one can give you a figure depends on what kit what injectors how many injectors if your running progressive or shot wet or dry ect ect......

    if its a WON kit you can use the T on the plastic fuel lines, you need to warm them up as stated above but for god sake take them right off the car to do it
    
    when they cool down the will seal and shouldnt need clips
    
    as for what it feels like, yes it can feel like a turbo if you have the right kit but for it to last and get the best power you want a direct port, progressive controled wet kit with about 100bhp jets, i use one on my turbo engine but will cost the best part of £1200

    Thanks guys! Good job I asked. Sorry for late reply.
    It is the won kit t piece. I didn't realise the Saxo fuel pipe is plastic. I think I will do as said above, take it out heat up and the cut into it.
    
    Is that what and how everyone else did it? Or should I jus swap it for a rubber one? If so where can I get a runner fuel pipe for the vts?
    
    It's wired to a button - press and it kicks in. Can have it under accelerator pedeal.
    
    Thanks guys

    if your putting it on a button you should also put the pedal switch in as nitrous should never be used at anything other than full throttle
    
    mines got both so you cant accidently push the button and switch it on, plus if something goes wrong you will lift off the pedal instinctivly before you will let go of a button
