my turbo's sitting up there at the 110k mark, just had my 1st major problem, but im not exactly sure how/why it happened, but it isnt turbo related, i bent valves in 1 cyl and no idea how, i have never over revved.
now if you wanna put their reliability into a math equation you could possibly see it as this
turbo = initial cost of setup
nitrous = initial cost of setup + xy (x= price of refill, y= number of times refilled)
eventually, nitrous will cost more if you stay on it. I.E. leaving less funds to fix any mechanical dilemma's.
as for 310cc injectors, IMO i dont think that would be adequate fuel for a turbo setup. but my car is very different from a honda,i have a 7.5CR and i am running 450's and i still hit fuel cut, when i get the car back together i need a new pump to supply adequate fuel.
PS: a turbo will last as long as you want it to, if you do nothing but floor it 24/7 itll last you a lot less then say running lower psi and less "spirited" driving.

I would have to say that I trust turbo more. It is alot easier to blow a motor with n20 than it is with turbo. I think that it is also easier to get more carried away with n20 than it is with turbo. Personally I am never going to put nos in my car but that is just my oppinion.

A small shot of nitrous and a good tune wont hurt shit. It may be a different story for Honda's, but all Camaro's I've seen under boost have let go almost immediatly, including mine. My friend Anthony has 180,000 miles on his LT1 and has probably ran 100 bottles thru it at least. I guess on paper a turbo is better, but I go on "real world" statistics, if I ever have boost on another car it will have forged internals.
