Message	:which is bad for a motor. So there's the main drawback to the small turbo/nitrous combination. How much of a shot can you safely give it? While I've heard the engine can take 600 rwhp on big turbos, I'd imagine that the engine wouldn't take a stock turbos + a 300 shot combination very well. Nitrous can be brutal on an engine. How much can it safely take?
