Hi guys... I'm not getting into this argument, but....

What mark says about the way NO2 works is correct...
more oxygen, plus another injector for more fuel = more power.
Turbo: pushes more air, ECU compensates and gives more fuel, although most aftermarket systems will have another injector.

At the end of the day, both systems are forced induction, and give a higher amount of mixture into the engine. Thats it... more in = more out. simple.

each has good and bad points..
NO2 is cheaper, gives more power.
downside, have to refill it, only gives power in bursts.
Turbo, no refills, power is more constant.
downside, it's more expensive.

On the tech side now..

Our V6.. well, it's seriously strong.. forged crank, very low piston velocity ratio, meaning it's low stressed to begin with.... this is why it lasts so long under normal conditions.

It has been proven that it will happily run 300bhp without any major mods as regards to strength.. more than that, and you have to get forged conrods etc
