would a 35 shot of nitrous be safer than a turbo kit.... (if nitrous installed correctly??) with proper supprting mods?

In theory they both work in the same manner, so one is not more safe than the other. Both are extremely dangerous if not tuned properly.

To the original poster, if you provide enough fuel to compensate for the added oxygen then a 35 shot will be fine on your motor.

Heck, you could probably go a 50 shot without hurting anything. Just make sure to get a "wet" kit so you'll be adding Nos and fuel at the same time, that'll keep ya' from going lean and messing something up.

yeah, I have always heard nitrous is so bad for your engine. But in the end all it does is add more air to your engine with the cost of filling it back up and stuff. Thats all a turbo does. In the end you are always trying to get more air and fuel in there anyways so yeah...as long as your don't hit over 250tq you should be good from what I hear.
