How did you run your lines?

Did everyone run their n2o lines under their car? I was reading a magazine that had a n2o-101(intro course) that showed lines being run down the interior of the car. Also, if anyones has an in-cabin Nitrous guage, where did you drill a hole in your firewall to run the line into the guage? I want to mount it on my lower DIN.

My main n20 line is run underneath the car. The only person I know that ran the line in-cabin in Jime. As for the in-cabin, n20 pressure gauge, I ran my line through a drilled hole in the firewall to the left side underneath the steering column.

i just got a splitter for the bottle and ran one line in the cabin to my gauge in my pillar, and the other line goes under the car into the engine.

I ran my line underneath the car, and used a pressure gauge on the bottle. It is HIGHLY suggested not to run the line in the cabin for many reasons.....

My main nitrous line runs from the trunk to the hood tied to the fuel lines that run underneath the car. I used to have another line that ran from the trunk to a mechanical n2o gauge located inside the center armrest compartment. That has since been replaced with the electrical version.

It is simple. After I turn on the bottle heater (without the sensors) my tank will reach about 1200 degrees after 10-15 minutes. I just get out, open the trunk, and look at the gauge. I didn't want to replace my more important gauges in the cabin. So, like many, I just mounted it on the bottle.

Hmmmm, I think I'll take my chances with the guage on the inside of the car. Medical grade nitrous (which we don't use on our cars often) has a half life of about 30 seconds or less. Its not that dangerous to have in the car.

I haven't found an electric Nitrous guage, who sells it?
