the only thing i will say in a turbos defnce is its part of the mechanics of the engine, and does not run out.

a turbo is a daily mechanical part of the engine.
nitrous is like running your nova down the strip with only one headlight!

not a fan of nitrous to TBH, i dont think its as reliable as a turbo or a supercharger and the power isnt prolonged enough.

I recomend breathing it in and listening to loud music. It makes the music echo in your ears 3 times but when people talk to you they sound normal

let us know how it goes when youve got it fitted 
i love threads like this about nitrous its funny how all the people that say bah its cheating and dangerous and it runs out its all bollocks!
yes it runs out but so does fuel and tyres and brakes!
it can be dangerous if installed incorrectly but then petrol is dangerous and we all fill our cars up everyday and sit on a tank full of the stuff with a high speed fuel pump strapped to it, potential bomb!
cheating??? who wrote the rule book on street racing? ive never seen one! power is power however you make it and nitrous is and always will be the cheapest bhp per £ out there!

Makes sense really. Why spend £0000's on tuning when you can just fit Nitrous and get the same results? Also, on a road car, if your using it day to day, you very rarely get the chance to drive full throttle anyway (at least I don't), so whats the point i running a tuned engine all the time, when you can have a standard engine, and turn the power on and off at the flick of a switch .
