I hate to play devil's advocate, but turbo plus nitrous on a motor that's even nearly stock is bad news. I'm a huge turbo fan (just read my sig) but on a stock motor with nitrous you're asking for a burnt piston and a major rebuild. I agree with Sivik...just use a boost controller to regulate the turbo psi. That's what I do. Granted, I've built the motor up to all hell but any power adder motor needs built internals to maintain real reliability. Even at 5-8psi I'd still invest a little in the motor to keep it running right. I don't have money to throw around, I just like my car to run right after every race.
