don't forget : granny shifting, not double clutchin' like ya should........LOL.
Make sure you get a tune for that nitrous or you will blow your engine like Choko did. Nitrous adds tons of extra oxygen to the mixture thus making it way leaner than commanded. This is the ONLY situation would advise running the car richer than 12.7 A/F. You need that extra fuel to keep your EGTs and knock in check. Stock or very close to stock timing and a 12.2-12.6 A/F would be best if you are going to run nitrous on this car. 
BS it had blue smoke rolling out of it , He took down his youtube videos of it in the garage it was red , I specifically remember a video of him with the garage door up and blue smoke rolling out the muffler. Then Since I live in Colorado he kept wanting me to trade him my factory airbox lid because that is how he ported the nitrous and was trying to get warranty work done , then he got rear ended then supposedly the car "caught fire" from the battery cable that goes under the back seat arced and burnt his car down to the ground .. then he bought a BMW 1 series
He wasn't tuned for juice ..
there are people making super high numbers with boton's and a tune. some tunes are making up to 398 wtq on the stock turbo. I dont see the need for No2 after seeing those numbers
Quite a few people are making very close to or just over 400wtq and 330whp+. I only have a couple bolt-ons and Im making pretty decent power! Trapping 115 in the 1/4 and under 4.5 seconds for 60-100. I think Term said his best was like 4.15 or something close to that, that is moving man! LOL!

im making about the same numbers as you. theres alot better tunes then we have. Before No2 id suggest looking for a more agressive tune. And x2 on the pill mod. From what i understand it allows the stock wastegate to sustain more boost, but basically it lets you tune for more power

To the OP. If you go with nitrous i highly recommend Zex. They offer full starter kit. Comes with the Bottle, brackets, activation switch, fogger and all that stuff to hook it up, That will cost you around $700-800.

If you plan on racing on a track i highly recommend the Racer Tuners kit....actualy whether you race on the track or not i highly recommend it. The kit costs around $330. Comes with purge kit, bottle heater, bottle presure gauge, blow down tube (which you must have to race on a track)

The final thing you should get is the Window switch. Which is $170 and allows you to program what gear nitrous sprays and what rpm window...ie start at 3000rpm, end at 7000rpm.

You say you already have a tune, you will need another custom tune if you install nitrous. Heres what the kit semi hooked up looks like in my car....obviously not a cobalt but u get the idea.

Costs ~$13 for a 1/4" mini brass ball valve and barb fittings. That will give you an adjustable pill. Then you need a retune of your DALs, MALT, Timing, etc to compensate for the increased cylinder airmass.
