Default Turbo or NOS???

O.k. overall, Which one will be cheaper, run better, last longer, give me more HP and not kill my engine in the long run?

neither.. you will need to put a whole new forged bottom end for both to run longer than a couple passes.. i would say turbo, but there is no real answer to the question what is cheap, long lasting HP with no extra wear on the engine..

NOS- only a brand name, the correct term for this would be nitrous oxide.unless you plan on running the brand of nitrous called NOS, but that is not the only manufacturer of nitrous oxide systems

quoted from Urban Dictionary.

2. NOS 1.) Nitrous Oxide Systems, a company which creates systems for distributing Nitrous Oxide to automobile engines.

2.) Commonly accepted replacement for the term "Nitrous Oxide." However, this is not correct, and anyone who says "NOS" instead of Nitrous Oxide should be shot

In my opion. turbo. Turbo pay for it once and NOS everytime. Can probably buy a turbo engine for 400 to 600 and install and have fun. Or rebuild a extra NA to turbo spec for a few thousand and have a lot of fun. Lowest hp turbo was 145 highest was 205 and that was stock. Very easy to exceed that. Of course do some searching most I paid is 600 for a rebuilt turbo motor with rebuilt turbo. Just start looking it won't be easy but can save a lot of money. Only other thing is emissions. If must met emissions in your area. Turbo car may be hard to meet.
