Default Nitrous and Turbo

If you have a turbo kit already installed is it ok to put on a nitrous system also?

The only way I would recommend using the two together is with a "Pressure Deactivation Switch". The nitrous system disengages once the turbo has achieved a set boost level. This would eliminate the lag of the turbo and prevent you from killing you engine. I believe Edelbrock sell the switch.

^exactly.


......and I highly recommend you buy some slicks and new motor mounts, or else you'll be wheel hopping down the 1320

New motor mounts help with wheel hop...I always thought it was the suspension!

motor mounts do have a lot to do with wheel hop. in stock mounts, the engine can move and bounce around ever so slightly in th emounts. this causes movement in the chassis and results in wheel hop. aftermarket motor mounts are much more rigid and wont let the engine move like that...reducing and often removing wheel hop.

Solved mine.

But as Nail I3unny stated "aftermarket motor mounts" but they also cause the car to viberate a little more since there is less give.

Suspension can have alot to do with it to and the mounts help alot to. I would go with out the nitrous unless you are having lag problems. Also it you use nitrous with the turbo you will loose traction very easy with out slicks. Sence you are FWD some lag helps like on my GS-T if i had no lag there would be no way to get the power to the ground i have lots of problems on the track already and once i hit full boost on the streeti cant get any tractinon there and i run expensave tires on it.
