blah blah blah, I say bullshit.

MsPeEd: you should come over and check out my Stage 6 Hyperdrive. Its really really fast. I can hook you up with one

nitrous on a turbo kit or without one is not good for your car. I dont suggest it unless you get your bores hardened and ports polished but that is just me.

Actually it isn't bad on turbo engines because of the temps. and the shot. A small 60 shot in a turbo like a K04 is fine if everything is set right. I know this dude around town that has a Jetta 1.8T with that set up and he is rollin 300 BHP to the wheels and like 292 Lbs. torque. The power increse is obvious, and it doesn't hurt a turbo engine like it does a n NA motor. At least that's what I've heard.

it hurts a turbo just as much if not more given the same circumstances. because of the much denser population of O2; from the nitrous and the cooled intake charge you will be running a significantly leaner mixture than your ECU expects.

what does this mean? if you don't adjust and make your mixture richer, you will more than likely suffer pre-detonation (very harmful for any engine) and your engine temps will rise (also not good).

to counter the nitrous you will want to run either higher octane fuel (like race gas all the time) or you will want bigger injectors (if you are close to your max duty cycle to begin with) and will want to richen the mixture of a/f.
