I havent been able to get much done lately with all the rain around here but I was able to do this when it stoped for a bout an hour, Its a brand x wet kit with a dynotune masterblaster purge and hsw dry kit. The wet kit isnt plumbed yet becuase I'm waiting on my nx maf plate to come in.

Waiting to install, poly torque arm mount, 160 t stat, umi adj. lca's, and 2nd stage of nitrous.
I already had the wet kit from the ss and was going to put it on with my old nozzle but found a good deal for the nx maf plate so Im going that way, traded a slp maf for the plate

+1 for DIY mentality, but it looks like crap. for such a small shot overall, i would have gone with a single shot on a progessive.... would be easier to tune, only have 1 bottle, less points of failure, etc etc.
its deffinitly going to get cleaned up when its all said and done, it started to rain while I was doing it
I don’t think cleaning it up is going to help w/ solenoid(s) location and the rats nest of steel braided line.
Seriously though, if you said you’re doing 2 stages b/c of traction issues, but your overall shot is 175 (which is not a big shot at all) then why not get a progressive controller? All said and done would probably be cheaper and well, just make more sense.

One advantage to mutli-stage systems is that progressive controllers are hard on solenoids.

if you've got an crappy solenoid or maybe an older one. i have yet to see a newer style solenoid fail due to being pulsed too much from a progessive....
The bottom line is, the more you use a mechanical part, the faster it will wear out. The more you open and close a solenoid the faster it will wear out. I am not saying the progressive will kill the noid quickly but it will wear out faster than a solenoid that has been open and closed 1/2 as much.
A few progress pics of my 2 stage set up 
I bought it out of the classifieds on here brand new for $25
