hahaha thats what i figured but i thought i would just double check. but with a good tune and a setup to where it will only spray when just about everything is perfect, it still isnt "safe"?

No.
Nitrous can't be used for extended intervals; the pressure will drop with a temperature drop.
Say for example you wanted to do an extended 30 second pull on the highway. Boost will do it just fine. Nitrous on the other hand will lose pressure, and not be able to sustain the power.
It's good for the drag strip and the occasional short pull, but not at all suitable for anything else.

Ouch, reading about the nitrous here puts me back to the drawing board. Didn't know there were puddling issues with the stock plenum, and I wouldn't feel like spending another grand for the one coming from kinetix. e46 M3's can take 250 shots, figured a 3.7 can take a 100 shot lol.

Good news boys, i was at a local meet today and found a guy willing to sell me his old turbo that he made 610 WHP with. he is selling it to me for $700 and only has 400 miles on it. I have the cost of new internals with install covered, along with an exhaust. to complete the turbo setup i need an intercooler, manifold, and what else to go with the turbo? (turbo kit wise not tranny upgrades and all that, i already know all that).
BTW, i like the idea of one larger turbo vs TT
