Actually I've heard that NOS systems are tough on cylinders 3-4 and can 
cause the pistons to melt. This is because most NOS systems I have heard 
of, and I havn't heard of them all, cause a lean fuel mixture to occur 
in those cylinders. Also these systems blow combustable mixtures into 
the intake manifold with some pretty spectacular results. Damage was not 
measured in any scientific way, but the damage was clearly visable. You 
also have to consider that my knowledge of this is at least seven years 
old, which is when I was considering trying somthing like this myself on 
an '84 Scirocco. It may be that current systems have solved this problem 
with cylinders 3 and 4, which is why I wondered how it was all working 
for you. I got this from reading about it and talking to some guy who 
liked NOS, but had had some bad experiences.
