turbo vs nitrous (very upsetting)

Just for ***** and giggles i hooked up a 75-shot of zex to see what it was like in comparrison to turbo on my car. Now I fully understand that my Y8 was meant to be turbo. The nitrous was great, such a rush, but nothing compared to turbo. Still got beat by my best friends B16A hatch, but only by inches this time. When I put the turbo back on I know I will win by bus lengths.

Need to find an FMU SOOOOOON! Has anyone else tried nitrous and turbo both at different times and can share views? Just something to talk about...

i have been in cars both with NOS and a turbo. The NOS is fun just for a few secs but with the turbo the power was always there. I rather have the power there always then just a few secs of it.

Re:turbo vs nitrous (very upsetting)

when you guys ran nitrious, was it full throttle only?

you still have to arm it, but then it only shoots when at WOT.... right?

Re:turbo vs nitrous (very upsetting)

I thought it had to come on after a certain rpm otherwise it wouldn't be good for the motor. So you would use a throttle activated switch and an rpm switch so it only comes on at WOT and, say 2500 rpm.
