nitrous...a good way to go???

I currently have a TXS Stage 2 setup and was wondering about getting nitrous for now instead of getting a turbo upgrade. Of course, money is the main issue here. After speaking with a couple of people at a local shop I go to (that works on WRX's), they've told me that the WRX's "don't take very well to nitrous." Then I asked them if they've ever done a nitrous kit on a rex, and he said "no." My question is, Is this true? Can anyone with any experience with this help me out. I WANT nitrous!!

Save for a stage four and you'll have more hp than the a 100 shot of nos and the hp will always be there.

if you use nitrous in moderation it will not harm anything. also i have had more than a 75 shot in my car and i would not be concerned about blowing my motor. i would stick with a 50 wet shot though if you an not to familiar with engines and tuning.
