I got mine used and dont really have any complaints. I decided to go with nitrous because it only puts the strain of the extra HP on your motor when you want to kick somones butt and I think my wife would divorce me if I spent $12,000.00 on a turbo kit. I checked into it and most turbo'd guys have $10-$12K in it when its all said and done, for me I just couldnt swing it. Nitrous feels so good and is the cheapest hp available.

I 2nd the gateway drug comment. I did the same thing, sold the tnt kit for a procharger. Then I found out how much it cost once I got into it (and how shitty a 6 rib belt system is). Back to nitrous for me. But I think my engine is about tired of trying out different power adders.

another reason alot of people sell it is because they get a bad tune on it, or don't knwo what they are doing and blow something up, then blame the nitrous for it. it's very easy to screw up and is very very unforgiving when something does go wrong.

But, when safely set up, and you know the limits of your motor, it is a great power adder.
