Default Nitrous and boost

with my new build i will be spraying a 50 dry shot to make some more power. Where is the most efficient place to spray?

I have heard of some people spraying pre-turbo somewhere between the filter and the turbo, and others spraying right before the throttle body

where is the most beneficial place to spray on a turbo car?

Pre intake not pre turbo.

I would say before the intercooler but after the turbo. I tried spraying a 35 shot before the turbo and did get some positive results but i would say it would be more effective to spray before the intercooler where IAT's would be the hotest.

Spray after the intercooler.

You will get the most power benefit this way. Spraying before the intercooler just makes the intercooler do less work.
