the only practical use of nos i've seen in a turbo'ed engine is to super cool the intercooler with the expanding gas effect. Think of it as stored A/C for your intercooler on an extreme level. Cost effectve? Hell NO! just install a manual water spray and save the NOS for the ricers.

Its one of the least safe mods to do. However if you do go with Nitrous Oxide, you would need a wet kit for 800+$. In my opinion there are much better ways to spend that money. A catback and tuning would give you 25+ hp safely and you wouldn't have to push a button and get a tank refilled to use it. I'd go with other modifications.

What are the other mods you have done to your car?

As long as you have a good fuel setup that can support the N2o. Don't just slap on a N2o kit and expect it to last.
