This is a nos question.

Okay, i have a important question. Is this the nos tank that were supposed to get for the 08 TL's--- http://www.yourhotcar.com/prod/NOS/P...Wet_Kit/17709/
And is there anything else we have to change to get this working without anything happening. And will i be able to take this out before i return this car(lease) in another 3 years.

I agree with the above two posters, PM racinghart and also reconsider it before you end up like the guy with the 335i who did the ECU upgrade and ended up blowing his motor, then had to pay 30K for BMW to fix it plus the lease costs and other fees.

I'm not trying to be a jerk.

With your knowlege level, stay away from the nitrous. You will blow it up beyond a doubt.

Not only that but don't you think it's a little unethical to juice a leased car?

Um, im stupid if u knew me, just b/c i post crap on internet doesn't mean anything. And i would only going to do 50shot, and get a really good mechanic shop trained the best with acura's(freind), and he would install it and tune. But now that i think of it, if 1 thing goes wrong the engine could blow up, even with the right steps. I guess weight reduction is my only option, then i can put all the stuff back on when i return it in 3 years.

I'm not saying you're stupid, but you knowlege level is not enough to run nitrous. It's one of those things that even the smallest mistake will cost you a motor in less than half a second.

If you insist on doing it, don't get a regular mechanic to do it. You would be surprised how little they usually know about the stuff. Get a speed shop or someone who has run it for many years to install it and tune it.

The TL will take a 50 shot no problem but an installation error or tuning error will cost you a motor.
