You know, the other day I was thinking that me going the nitrous route was a stupid move, and was actually considering selling my kit. The, sunday, I hit it on the street with a 150 shot for the first time...OMG...what a rush that was. According to my log I went from 50 to 100 in 4 seconds. Felt pretty good.

i know man, i never got to spray the 150, i just never got around to it. and thats awesome, 50 to 100 in 4 seconds. that is bad ***. if i would have had hp tuners before i sold it, i would have kept it for sure. oh well.

i tried to get rid of my nitrous setup a few times. i'd uninstall it, but a week or two later, i'd throw it right back on. i've accepted that i can't let go.

Lol, that sucks! You can always use nitrous with a turbo. I would always get nitrous for whatever car i have, it always has some use in any other application. Spool up turbos, cool intercoolers, chill intake tubes, use with c02, fake purge, whatever, nitrous is the universal mod. Love nitrous

I put my nitrous on the car, and never used it, cuz i was a puss. Well I took the kit off to sell and thought I had a buyer, he backed out. I was pissed, so I put the kit back on and got a tune a week later. Now I spray the car non-stop. Nitrous is such a amazing feeling, plus the bottle looks so good sitting on my trans tunnel hump. I honestly like nitrous better, then turbo.

Nitrous kits are going for cheap now days, just look around and buy another kit or get a even better kit then you had.

Sounds like me...I have contemplated selling my kit...I don't use it as much..But I bought all the bells and whistles for a reason lol. So, yeah, haven't sold it, or attempted yet.
