Zex Ejector Air Amplifier

Anyone happen to know if it would be safe to run one of those Zex Ejector Air Amplifers with a turbo installed? I wasn't sure if the heat from the turbo would cause the nitrous to blow up before it got into the cylinder or not.

if you run a dry nitrous system theres no danger

nitrous alone wont blow up it would need fuel also

if you run a wet nitrous system theres a posibility of exprolsion maybe

but from what i read your never suposed to spray a wet shot befor an intercoller because fuel can puddle in the intercooler and then posibly ignite

ive also always read that you should have the nitrous nozzle as close to the throttle body as posible

that looks like some ricer product just drill a hole in the intake pipe and thread the nozzle in

I doubt that spray is going to create a significant enough vacuum to pull in anything extra, and spraying it directly into the cone like that might actually increase the pressure inside the filter, reducing the flow of air coming in. Only real benefit that I see is that it seems like it would make hooking up a nitrous system easier since it connects right to the filter.
