Re: twin turbos?



> Why not flow nitrous until the car gets into the boost then taper it off ...

I know of a N/A '85 5k that ran nitrous for a while.  Sure, it was running all
the time instead of tapering off, but the end result was a cracked piston, & a
new block (thank you Audi.)  Now, the Audi mechanics did find an air bubble in
the metal in the piston, but I have to believe that that piston would have lead
a long, happy life under normal operating conditions...  Food for thought-
