Default ~Nitrous or Turbo~

I was wondering which puts less strain on the internals of your motor and drivetrain? and a questions for those who have had both...which did you like better? leaving out the fact that you have to fill the bottle. Also when a mishap does happen and you blow your motor, which has the most damage?

Just for comparison:

8psi on the turbo
150 of nitrous

It depends on boost and shot size...

Nitrous hits harder right away, but turbo makes more boost higher in the RPM as it spools so it hits hard.. but it hits gradually as RPM climb until it gets to the right boost.

They are both fairly safe if your use all proper safety measures.
Sorry i cant help much past that.

why don't you add a small nitrous shot to a turbo motor? It'll help cool the intake charge even more (chemical intercooler, sort of like methanol)

Nitrous fan myself. You could go turbo and use a smaller shot to spool faster though.
