Nitrous and Turbos

Nitrous and Turbos
So my friends and I have been having a discussion about using nitrous with a turbo.
A couple of them have been saying that turbo'd engines love nitrous, and saying that you could use nitrous on a turbo'd engine now matter where in the rpm range you use it.
Now since I've run nitrous on one of my hondas, I know how destructive it can be.
But I have heard of people using it to spool up larger turbos, but not using when the turbo spools to max boost.
Now I understand if you had it tuned to run nitrous all the time with your boost it could be done, but wouldn't your engine give out on you really fast? And I'm not talking fully built bottom end with forged pistons, rods, and having the block sleeved.
It just doesn't strike me as sensible.

Basically yes, but I want to also know if its a good idea to run it with boost at all besides using it to spool up the turbo.
I never really see nitrous and a turbo on a car it's usually one or the other when I see them.
I would think there's a reason for that.

I just think you'd blow your engine in a few runs, there's no way a stock bottom end can hold boost and nitrous.
I'm just looking for information so I can prove that boosted engines don't "love" nitrous as they say.

So your just answering your own question? Anyone who would be dumb enough to run boost/nitrous on a stock engine deserves for it to blow up. With forged bottom end you can run nitrous while boosting if your tuned for it.
