Turbo and Nos?
Here's my question. I have a greddy turbo on my 
96 civic ex. I also have a zex dry kit that I had before I put the turbo on. I want to use the nos with the turbo. Do you think it would be ok if I jetted it for a 35 shot? I know I'll have to get new jets as the zex kit only came with 55,65, and 75shot jets. I don't want to spend anymore money. I know the difference between wet and dry kits I'm just trying to make do with what I have.
My setup is this. Greddy turbo, type 31 intercooler, crower stage1 cam shaft, aem cam gear, race cat, 2.5 inch exhaust, fmu, and holley fuel pump. I'm running 8psi right now.

Why would you waste nitrous spraying it over your intercooler? If you want to cool of IAT's, use alcohol/water injecton, or spray water on your IC, or spray CO2 on your IC, not expensive nitrous. The only benefit that comes from spraying nitrous through your intercooler anyways is the nitrous that gets injested by the turbo after it blows through the IC.
I wouldn't run nitrous and turbo, especially with a zex kit where all they do is bump fuel pressure to add fuel for the nitrous. It's just a tuning nightmare to run boost and juice.

Re: Turbo and Nos? (boosted92)
that was really my point...i wouldnt use nitrous w/ boost. If he already has the setup then use it safely or sell it. C02 is the best.....cheapest.

1. You certainly can use nitrous with a turbo, and with good results. Howeverm the Zex kit is not a good one to use, for the aforementioned reasons of tuning.
2. You want to inject the nitrous AFTER the intercooler.
