ok, i was mapping out the future for my car, and N2O is on the top of the list, but i was going to do an FS ZE engine swap, then add a turbo, but i realized a few problems.
1. I can't get the HP out of the ZE engine without the ECU, and i can't get the J spec ECu cause it won't work in our cars.
2. The tranny isn't built for more than the MSP's 170 HP, so i'd need a beefier tranny.
3. The FS ZE engine swap is very expensive, almost more than the turbo.
SOO that being said, i've abandoned the engine swap idea. But still want to do the turbo. So getting to the point, what would i need to change in my nitrous setup once i get a turbo? I've heard direct port is much better for turbo charged engines. Or would i have to abandon my bottle altogether once i got a turbo?
I'd prolly still have to get a better tranny, but i can budget for that...

The usual gains of the n-tercooler setup is about 30-50hp..depending on how much boost you are running!
