You do realise that if you have nitrous that there is now two problems.

1. Your turbo (if it boosts at all) is now restrictive as buggery at max
power? It restrict what you can get hugely.
2. A big (BIG) turbo will make full boost at ANY rpm if you use nitrous to
produce the exhaust gas? And zero without it!
3. To make serious power you need to open wallet fit HUGE turbo? You will
get big power improvement at same boost. But it wont boost without nitrous!

Even if you fitted say a T4 sized unit it restricts your top end slightly on
nitrous, with no lag low down?
And without nitrous it wont boost at all? With it you can have FULL boost
at say 1000 rpm in about 1/10th sec? And that the boost can turn off the
nitrous (and now its self sustaining) with a cheap switch?

Ask trev. He knows me, kind ov loves/hates me, but never argues much because
I generally win! I like trev, and respect his experience, he respects me
too. He actually uses me to discuss and brainstorm stuff! Although he
probably wont admit it!

Anyway have fun! And remember trev is very careful - if he suggests 25 bhp
extra I would probably double that and move up from there. He has a "safe"
business to run.
