Turbo. It's easier on parts and who likes refilling bottles?

Turbo= power all the time.
NOS= power till your empty.

Either way, do it right or youll only have the power till the motor blows, or something else does.

Is your engine up to it? Have you checked your plenum? How many miles on timing set? How's the tranny?
