Default Spooling with NOS

I was thinking of getting a 75 shoot to spool up and then a hop switch so when it hit's full boost the NOS shut off is this a good idea? Any experince? Thanks

how big of turbo you going to use, these 5.7L pusha turbo pretty good.
i get full 10lbs of boost at 2700rpm with my T76.
the supra guys do it, but they got a punny 3.0L

What about hitting the exhaust side with compressed CO2 to spool up?

IMO, i wouldn't bother. I hit full boost by 3500, but then again i'm spooling a PAIR of T-66's

With properly sized turbine housing(s) and maybe a boost controller you won't need any help.

i was going to ask you when you see full boost
heck thats only 800rpms after i see boost with my single t76
to think adding a turbo bout the same size only slows spool down that much

what size is your AR exhasut housings?

Quite a few of the aftermarket efi kits support "anti-lag" features whereby an extra injector(s) is plumbed to provide fuel in the exhaust to spool up the turbo quicker - or you can even just run the main injectors extra rich. Burning fuel in the exhaust will spool up your turbo very quickly

i was thinking that chris.. anyone with a turbo 'sucessfully' sported an afterburner before?

I8yourcobra.. if you spray you are not going to want to turn it off at full boost. just let her eat... my opninon is if you are gonna spray like that, why bother with the turbo at all?

Doesn't a two step do this automatically since it doesn't shut off injector pulses, just the spark? (i guess that's not a question it is a fact). Remember how a 2-step melted cats? believe it was blackhawk2000 who melted his? whatever happened to him?

Yep, that is why m6 turbo cars really *need* a two step (plus you have a bit more air flowing through which helps). But with the aftermarket anti-lag setups they can go between gear shifts, or even at low rpm's when you aren't in boost (depends on the setup how configurable it is).

AHAHAHA, it's also hazardous to any cars BEHIND the 2 step car.

Blackhawk dosent have the car anymore, he went into hiding, but i'm sure he's lurking here somewhere.

Speaking of where did someone go, did you always live in Ohio? I've been wondering where you went for a while
