Purging the nitrous does two things:

1. The purge solenoid is just before the nitrous solenoids. Purging the feed line from the bottle(s) removes the air from the line, to ensure a solid flow when the nitrous solenoid(s) is activated.

2. The purge is another way to relieve pressure in the bottle(s). There is an optimal pressure for a nitrous bottle to be, which is around 1050psi. Too low or too high of a pressure can greatly affect the power.
