RE: Turbo or N.O.S !?!
i hate to sound like i don't know what i am talking about but i remember reading about turbos and its not always about the PSI its the total flow....i mean i don't know a whole lot but i thought that might help your mind if you research that alittle bit....but remember both are going to kill that motor rather quickly...

Personally i would use a turbo ( Even if its more complicated) because ive heard using NOS can screw ur car up pretty bad permenantly.

2. a turbo without a proper tune or running to much boost will do just as much or more damage as running large shot of nitrous oxide
3. weve been over this

well, N2O is a pretty radical explosion from what i understand, and your engine will hold up better from 150 HP worth of FI than it will a 150 HP shot of N2O.. but i dunno[8D]. im not into anything but N/A motors. haha.

if your saying a 150 horse power shot of nos or a 150 horse power boost level your talking about the same amount of O2 in the combustion chamber so in essience your talking about the same explosive force....

not exactly. the motor build determines alot too. yes, the energy is the same. however, nitrous adds the same energy at all times, which is why low end torque jumps so far with nitrous, where SC's do not.
also, a high compression motor will burn itself out on 150hp worth of boost, but will drink up the nitrous.
