Default Nitrous and turbo???

Is it safe to run 50 - 75 shot of nitrous on a turbo running 8psi? If so, wet or dry nitrous? Just for occasional use for the extra punch!

on stock internals... i would say this isnt a great idea, but the first few times shouldnt destory your engine.

With 8PSI on a turbo, youre going to be running nearly 280WHP, and i would say thats almost the threshold of safety on the stock internals.

you also arent going to get any traction in any gear before 3rd.

Anything after that you should really be careful.



PS. with 280whp, you really arent going to need nitrous.

It's been done on other cars, but I wouldn't recommend it on the tC without upgrading the internals as well as the tranny. Oh! and traction is going to be a big problem. Your better off just raising the boost or using THIS.

^ I agree.... If I go turbo, my setup is getting converted to an intercooler sprayer.... N2O and F/I are possible... but TOO Much on stock internals and not cool for the Daily Driver......
