Some one here has to know what type of parts to use to put on to a VW diesel.
Please don't let me waste my money and time with some kit that the guy on the phone told me would work.

I've looked in the major parts catalogs and the setups they have are way to complicated and some parts are not needed.
Ideally, I want to use a two stage setup or a progressive controller to gain low end boost to get going and the main shot to keep the egt's down and get a more complete burn. The pump that I'm useing is a custom one that Giles made for me with a 10mm head and all the other good stuff he does. So I know theres a lot of fuel for NOS.

Please feel free to ask questions. 

How about running 2 nitrous solenoids, lines and spray nozzles to the intake. Trigger a small shot on solenoid 1 with a micro switch off the throttle pedal or injection pump lever, then trigger the second stage ( solenoid 2) with a adjustable pressure switch while on boost.

OK. but does the #1 solenoid keep fireing when the boost swt. on #2 solenoid starts?

Yes, as long as you stay on the throttle. When you let off the throttle to shift you will loose power to solenoid 1 for as long as it takes to shift and get back on it.( myself, I don't even get off the throttle in between shifts when i'm spraying nitrous). The second stage, (solenoid 2) will add whatever amount you want, (determined by jet size) to the first stage. It will take some tuning to find that happy medium so you're burning the extra fuel, but not wasting nitrous.

I'm running a single stage with a 028 jet (35 shot) and I still leave a smoke trail until boost comes up.
