Nothing much really... only thing is if the bottle is inside the car ie not in the trunk then you need to run a Blow Down Safty Tube... besides that thats about it. Oh yeah some trakcs might also be looking for the DOT approval off the bottle.. depending on how anal they are about it.

well im not karo, but i think i have a good grasp on the blow down tube.........as far as i know it ataches to the valve on the bottle, and if the bottle should need to burst open from excessive heat or whatever, instead of blowing up and hurting you, this valve in the blow down tube opens and vents all the nitrous out of that tube and out of the car, becaue the end of the tube is outside the car, therefore preventing injury to you.......if you play paintball its basically a burst disk with a tube hooked up to it

Depending on the bottle you have it may already come with it or it may not.

More or less its like a pressure safty switch thingy. Once your bottle pressure goes over 1900 PSI then it blows all the n2o out before the actually blows up the bottle... well the tube is connected to the valve which is lead outside of the car so all the n2o can go out side the car...

If you need pictures let me know I will try to get some of my setup....
