if you buy NX, you really dont need a nitrous filter. they have a netting built into their seleniods just before the nitrous goes in. although they do sell one if you want the piece of mind. but im sure its not much difference then what they already have built in.

dont forget the remote bottle opener. lazy man's dream come true.

you really don't need the window switch. Using nitrous is such a methodical process. It is not like the nitrous will activate on its own. You decide when and for how long. As long as your brain is functioning properly, your not going to activate it at too low an rpm (and that is really only a concern for the high gears) anyway. And on the high end, you control your shift points, too! Make sure to take your foot off the gas (and the nitrous stops) when you shift.

Also, the TPS switch is not necessary either. Some prefer it, some don't. I prefer to use the microswitch for activation. I trust my foot more than an electronic device that is subject to failure.

Additionally, the purge is fun, but not necessary. Not purging can sometimes help you on street tires. You'll get a softer initial hit if you don't purge. This results inless tire spin and more traction. Of course, if you have a purge, you can always opt to use it or not, whenever you decide.

Finally, about www.dynotunenitrous.com They really have some of the finest accessories for Nitrous. Their bottle openeer is a great piece, the best on the market. No tools needed for removal. built in carry handle. Still has a handwheel! FAST! great price.

here's a video link to the opener:

I also suggest this switch panel for simple intregration and ease of wiring:
