Default Turbo Or Nitrous.

Which Is Better? Will they both do the same thing? Wich do you use? And why? If you had 2 of the same cars with the same motors 1 running 5 psi of boost from a turbo and the other a 70 shot of nitorus wich one do you think would win.. I am asking because I am still on the fence on wich one I want to do..

This is a loaded question all the way. I don't care which would beat which, but I vote turbo because you don't have to keep refilling it, and continue shelling out $ to do it.

Either one is fine, it just depends on how cheap of a bastard you are. If you want to spend as little as possible on a nitrous setup, you could hang, but it would get embarassing once that bottle runs out.

Nitrous is cheaper initially, but you still have to put in the same work as a turbo to make it reliable, especially if you run a larger shot.

nitrous is cheaper, turbo is just cooler though h:

putting together a thorough, complete turbo system is no small task, a lot of parts and tuning go into it, whereas with most entry level nitrous kits, you just hook it up and go.

:dunno: really its just a matter of what you prefer

totally a matter of opinion. to start off for a N2O kit you will prolly pay $500 tops. for a turbo you will most likely pay at least 3 times that. Its dependent on how often you plan on "boost" or "spray" if your gonna use it alot and eventually the cost of N20 will catch the price of the turbo so just go turbo to begin with. If just plan on the occasional track time just get a bottle because it will be cheaper and get the same power as turbo for less price

A super charger will last you in the long run h: - easier install, less maintenance, less stress and less of a need for other upgrades, not as much fuel, just bolt up and go, more power all around the RPM :wiggle:
