Default To turbo or not to turbo...gimme some thoughts

Ok I have a T4 turbo for the H22, it's going to be a super tight fit if it can happen, and maintaining the turbo will be even harder since I don't have elves hands. You guys think it's worth it or should I go nitrous or all motor? I know your all tired of these kind of Q's but help a brother out.

so lemme get this straight, you have an h22 in a crx, and you want to go faster?

hahah, anyways, turbo is very fun but nitrous is easier to install, maintain if you dont like getting your hands in small places, hhaha i would love to see a crx H22-t daily driver in real life, where u live?

I already have nitrous on it, I just traded a different NOS kit for a brand new T4 Garr. turbo .70 compressor housing and .82 exhaust and I really want to use it but I'm not sure if this is the car to put it on or not. I'm about 15 mins east of Columbus, yeah it's a daily driver.

its all a matter of opinion, im not a big fan of nitrous, also do you really have the room in the engine bay for a turbo?

Personally I'd get nitrous as a quick fix, just to see how you like the extra power. If you want to play with the 'feel' of a turbo but don't want to mess with installing it, you could, for example get the Venom VCN2000 nitrous controller. That allows you to do progressive nitrous hits for example, simulating the feel of a turbo without the cool psssh noises. Afterwards, if you decide that the turbo is something you've gotta have, sell the nitrous kit for say, 3/4 of cost and recoup most of your investment.

Turbo is cool, but when nitrous costs 1/3 of the price... yeah. Just seems to make more sense to kind of 'test out' the feel beforehand to see if you like it.

Ok well I took "serious" measurements tonight, damn this turbo won't fit. I mean I could get it to sit in there but no way can I actually hook anything up or work on it. Nitrous it is.
