Default turbo and nitrous

if you had the motor built to handle high amounts of boost, but were only running around 13-15 PSI would it handle say a 150 shot at the same time?
anybody else running nitrous and forced induction? i know you would have to tune it to handle this.
what other precautions might i need to take?

there are a bunch of ppl runnin nitrous to get the turbo to spool up faster, but if you wanting to run higher boost, ppl would recomend the alky/water injection.....correct me if i got the fuel wrong (forget sometimes!)

If you're maxing out the turbo at 13 psi you'll stand a good chance of damaging it if you hit it with a 150 HP hit of nitrous. That's a ton of extra exhaust flow, and will overspin the turbo easily.

My advice? Go get a properly sized turbo and ditch the bottle.
