Turbo all the way. For $1500 you can get a really good setup with a tune, and be on your way for good. Having to spend the money to buy and install the NO2 kit, plus ALLLLLL those refills, will make a turbo much cheaper in the long run.

Ummmm.... where?

I was just asking because the guy that wants to do my tranny swap wants me put in a nitrous system that he has for 450.00. I don't know if I want to tho'. Its a NOS system that he has and it's a big bottle setup. I don't what that means "75 shot,150 shot" or what?

Well I heard for low boost like 5 psi an intercooler wasnt needed. And you could probably could get away with it. But an intecooler kit is only an extra couple hundred bucks, so Id say its worth it.

I wouldn't go over a "75 shot" with a stock engine.

oh and on the turbo he said he wouldn't recommend a intercooler unless I planned to run on a high boost.

an intercooler wont do much on less than 4-5 psi, but anything higher than that, and youre asking for trouble without one. esp on a hot day.

yea but sacs an intercooler can be had for like 250. Who would be dumb enough to boost their car, and do it half assed. Even on 4-5 PSI.....no intercooler will have your motor giving you problems down the line, where as if u intercooled it, they mite not even occur.
