I'm pretty sure I had added it to your msq, and wired it to the fuel rail solenoid thing

I feel like this thread is competing with Aidan's for randomness now.

So... What I'm hearing is that I need to follow colipto's instructions and go for nitrous 1. The issue he seems to be having likely deals with the NA MS3X vs mine which is wired for an NB1, correct?
Unless the issue that SpartanSV mentioned is accurate...

That wasn't directed at me was it?

no. unless you asked for it, or I mentioned it, I don't typically just add it to the harness.

You should have added it without being asked, for free, and then flew over to install it and explain how to tune it.

It wouldn't have cost extra I don't think... And I had my MS back to him once early on for some trouble shooting. Oh well... I should have just asked for it. But I never thought I'd do this!

I looked through the hardware manual and did some googling and couldn't find info on this. Is there some literature I missed? Which outputs are on which banks?

I still don't see how he can use nitrous 1 if it's already used for VICS.

Of course he does. Just light one candle, turn out the lights, stare into a mirror, and repeat three times slowly, "Vlad, impale me."

Oh, and give him your credit card number, too. He likes that.

Idle, Boost, VVT, and tacho are on one. Since we need to set the Idle valve frequency, the VVT one cant be adjusted.

Nitro 1 and Nitro 2 on another.

Alright, so as said above nitrous 1 is already wired so do I just use nitrous 2?

I'm still unsure if anything needs to be modified internally...
