BOOST is cheap and is always there. Nitrous is cool but youll waste it all being cool with the purge valve. plus you can run around going ppppssshhhh pssshhhhh with a blow off valve.

ok guys to start either one will be sick 10hp shot or 7ish lbs of boost ... purge vs blow off im going to do 1 soon just cant deside lol needless to say im not yet done building the p5

Better off addressing the suspension limitations that can't even take advantage of the stock HP and speed. Once you get it to10-12" of travel then maybe go faster. Looked like it had a hard time staying upright at the Takeover running only 15 mph. :D

Wouldn't expect you would. Just figured you would address the shortcomings in logical order. A 1000 HP means nothing if tires dont stay in contact with surface.

for the most part the suspension is great its just those ruts with the ground clearance and width was the biggest challenge lol i loved every second of it

I'm voting turbo. You'd be going through nitrous like crazy, then you'd have to ration it out in order to make the bottle last. With a turbo you're making boost all day long, every time you hit the throttle.

It'll never be a hill jumping speed demon but having more HP in reserve would help push it up the hill. Turbo...!

If you turbo you had better start with the air filter . Pipe it up under the roof and then put a k and n cone on that end with a outerwear prefilter over that .

With a good size bottle, and only a 10 shot, it would last a good while. Keeping bottle pressure right would be the problem. Sitting in the sun the blowoff valve would trip a lot. Nitrous is more fun. But may be a lot of trouble.
