Couple of points:-

Providing you are not adding more than about 25% of your stock power (so if you have a 200BHP engine, yo u are only adding around 50 bhp worth more with nitrous, then providing the engines is known to be a good one (Toyota Supra turbo MK 3 engines are almost bullet proof) - then you should not have any real issue.

If you want more power than 25% more, then you need to invest in a controller which ramps up the power over a second or so so the engine is not "shocked".

Nitrous solenoids from people like "Holley NOS" are a bit grim, you ideally want to look for "pulsoids" which are so reliable that they are guaranteed for life - as opposed to coming complete with a rebuild kit!

Nitrous can be used on turbo cars with fantastic results even from quite small amounts of nitrous - because they effectively eliminate turbo lag - you spool up within a second or so - so your engine is giving you high torque right from the off.

Make sure you buy a "wet" kit which adds the correct amount of additional fuel to your engine along with the nitrous. If you do not, then there is a HUGE chance you will lean out the engine and that gets expensive.

Nitrous is great fun - used it for many years - but use good quality kit (pulsoids) and if you use a narrow pipe (I used to use 4mm bore copper), then you do not need a "release valve" to remove the gas to get the liquid back. Saves gas.

The braided pipes LOOK pretty but waste a lot of the nitrous as the liquid expands to a gas in the pipe instead of in the engine - where you want it.
