The cheaper option


The more expensive option

Now the difference is from about £40 to £140 
Now at the end of the day a solenoid valve is just a solenoid valve so i don't get the price difference myself. I also know that no effort is put onto a solenoid valve unless you have pulse width modulation going on with a progressive controller. So without this even a basic valve will do...

Bear in mind the dynotune type is the same as the original NOS and NX solenoid but with a different sticker 
Also WON bits are not universal. To use one of their valves i'd also need to use their jets and they're injector 
Their parts are rather like microsoft

without seeing the quality of the 2 items its hard to tell, generally cheap options are built to a lower quality, threads and fittings may not be as good or secure etc...
for example, take cheap gauges that people fit in their dash such as oil pressure etc... the amount of cheap items that I see with oil leaks and some really bad (one customer completely destroyed his evo 5 by using a cheap sandwich plate that failed and drained all of its engine oil, dead engine! ). I have never seen any problems with proper gauges and fittings such as revotec and SPA etc...
its all down to the quality of the item, not just the price.

i am talking from experience here,
THERE ARE NO BETTER ALTERNATIVES THAN THE WIZARDS OF NOS GEAR!!!!
The solonoids they use are completely frictionless and last a life time. the jets and servicing bits from them are not expensive anyway. And the speed at which the wizards solonoids open and shut are faster than other alternatives.
WON FTW

by the way NOS and NX solonoids fail alot and is why nitrous has a bad name for blowing engines up. The NOS and NX solonoids should be regularly re built and serviced and do not react well to poor non-medical grade nitrous oxide.
So as for saying that the dynotune one is the same as the old NOS ones, that means nothing as they are shite.

WON bits it is then 
Means i need to use their injector and metering jets too. Not using their bottle though, thats going to be a ny t-rex one (with -4AN to 5mm adapter so i can use WON nylon lines)
Should look like this...

i'd be tempted to have the kets more angled towards the inlet otherwise you could end up with nos going one way and the fuel not getting there as quick. Also want to keep your lines as short as possible so possible go straight through the bulk head, trying to fing a pic now of m=ine
