Since I will upgrade my turbo during the winter I will be a T3-T4 rated to about 350hp&+ , lag will be a issue, since ball bearing is so expensive. So I was wondering if it would be a good idea to use a Nos wet kit, until full boost at maybe 3500 rpm or 4000 at worse. I was thinking about maybe 75 shot nos.

This is the mod that will be done on the car, ARP head stud kit.Cometig HG 555cc injector + Fuel pressure regulatorT3-T4 turbo 3 inch cat backSR20DET ecu retune to ca18det spec and laptop for tuning.Custom 4 puck clutch rated to 450hpCustom axel, HKS bov, and Tial 35mm waste gateStock manifold.

All this in a nissan pulsar usdm, or exa for Aussi, the car is FWD :P

for 600$ CND it's very cheap very hard to beat price.

In response to the original question, it's hard to say. Without going into the internals, I already feel that the turbo you're looking at is going to be stressing the stock cast pistons. I intend on running Nitrous as a "just in case", but I've got forged pistons and had a little something done to something on the internals to handle the boost and nitrous.

Nobody's done it here in the states. My vote would be to try it, but have a backup set up forged pistons setting in the closet...
