FWIW, I wouldn't mount the bottle that way, I'd mount it parallel with the car. That way the nitrous will always be available to the pick up tube.
I know mounting the bottle front to back would probably be optimal but the manual says you are able to mount the bottle this way because the pickup tube is bent towards the bottom corner of the bottle (the bottle needs to be facing a certain way). But the main reason I mounted the bottle this way is so that I can still fit my guitar amp in the trunk without having to pull all that stuff out. Priorities lol.

I tried my best to copy and paste the diagram showing different bottle mounting positions but here is the pdf if anybody wants to check it out.

The red vacuum line between the vacuum tree and the Fuel Pressure Regulator is what the ZEX system taps into in order to raise fuel pressure when the nitrous solenoid is activated ... that is the correct line for the ZEX system.
Beauty.. Thanks!

To find another vacuum source follow the hose of the top of the UIM that ISN'T connected to the Brake Booster - at the end of that black pipe is a "distribution block" for various vacuum sources - take a "T" fitting and put it in line with one of those hose coming out of the distribution block - DON'T use the hoses coming out of the EGR's vacuum solenoid as that green hose to the EGR does not get vacuum all the time.
So this second vacuum source would work rather than cutting one of the big thick lines going to intake manifold? Iâ??m sure I will be able to find a good spot in there and not only that but it should be easier to tuck the hoses out of sight. So all the Zex box needs is its own closed loop in the vacuum system. So there are plenty of points where you could splice into.. Correct?

Second pic shows the PCV valve in your hand - put it back where it was and leave it alone - messing with this little unit can RUIN your drivability and a bunch of other stuff.
If the PCV is bad could it cause the car to stall when RPMâ??s drop, like when shifting into neutral at speed to coast up to a red light? Every once in a while this happens and the ford dealer thinks it could be a vacuum leak of some kind, though they are unable to find it themselves. Also there is a grey control box that is part of the emissions system that controls the exhaust/intake manifold recirculation system. Could that cause any problems like this? It normally runs really well and I can avoid the problem by not letting the RPSâ??s drop so fast while I'm slowing down but it can be annoying. Iâ??ve replaced the IAC, the â??distribution blockâ? of vacuum hoses and checked all vacuum lines with no avail. Everything that looked cracked or worn was replaced during the swap. I was just looking for ideas of what else could cause that.
Iâ??ll Post a bunch more pics after this weekend. Thank you guys for all the help.
