Why not simply tweak the turbo so you get boost in 1st and 2nd.  I get 10
psi in all the gears.  Avoid the complexity of a nitrous system.

Subject: Re: <VV> nitrous and Corvairs (heat problem?)

I haven't been subscribed for the past month or two as I didn't have time
to keep up.  I did a google search on the subject (including VV archive)
and found some mentions of Nitrous but not anything that directly answered
this question.  I admittedly didn't dig terribly deep and I didn't check
fastvair at all.  I'm guessing the recent posts were on fastvair because my
search didn't turn up anything that recent but maybe I missed it.

Thanks for the replies guys, seems there is some disagreement here.

As far as my question about using it with the turbo engine, allow me to
reiterate;  I'm talking about using Nitrous ONLY when the turbo is not
making any boost... basically WOT at higher RPM in first and second gear.
 The idea would be to set up a pressure switch of some sort that would *
completely* disable the nitrous system as soon as the turbo started to do
it's thing.. either when the vacuum falls to a certain point or when the
pressure builds to a certain (VERY low) point...  I'm not sure what cutoff
point would be appropriate.
