there are lot of guys running nitrous without issue. but no matter your choice of major power adder, you run the risk of such things happening no matter the choice you make.

2.2L cobalt w/ nitrous... bad idea, watch the video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYf5OIQG8XA
you spray multiple times a day on the street? GROW UP.
As far as this:Running a turbo you go into boost a whole lot more than that
I disagree. most times when you drive responsibly, you are in vacuum mode or negative boost.

is that a joke? With a wet kit you are adding fuel through a jet, with a dry kit you are basically just running on the stock fuel system. just as likely to have problems. plastic manifold = probably saved this guys engine because it actually released pressure when he had that n2o backfire.

Not true, turbos make ur car more efficent if u stay off the gas and aren't flooring it. Just like a CAI helps ur gas mileage, a turbo will too. You lose 20-30% of ur gas mileage when u step on it and WOT, but if ur constantly under 2-2.5k rpms ur gas mileage should go up 20-30%

I would save my money and go with teh Turbo..... Nitrous over the life of your car is just gonna end up giving you more headache and breakdown problems then a small turbo setup will. Why do you think most people who spray nitrous ahve so many horror stories. Where as you never hear about Eclispe or Talon, or Subaru guys saying I blew my motor with ym small turbo. Even a small T3/T4 turbo or 14G would be more then enough to boost a 2.2 well past 280hp

As for nitrous being a bad idea...hell no. It was awesome! So what it had an oops...get over it. Prior to that I had made probably 30+ runs with nitrous.
