Any wet kit would do but I'd get the NOS 5208 since its specific to your car. I've HEARD numerous stories of nitrous causing a small turbo like the T25 to reach boost and redline so fast well beyond human control of being usable if not destructive. Unless I had a big turbo (20G and up) I would a) only spray in 3rd and up. possibly 2nd depending) and b) install a cut off window switch to shut it down after a certain rpm. With a turbo thats not gonna go from 0-100000rpm at a drop of a dime (nitrous shot) I dont see why not.

If you and your friend both have 5 speeds I suggest just going with the ussual power mods. (BOV, exhaust, MBC, turbo etc.) Much safer ;)


EDIT: I wanted to add this instead :)
The only time I would recomend using nitrous to launch a turbo car is if you are running a turbo on an automatic that is too large for the engine to spool efficiantly during a brake torque. (big 16g or higher) There are so many new turbo's out now that cater to the automatics that in my opinion it would be more feasable to spend the money on the "auto turbo's" than to deal with reducing the lag on the more traditional big turbo's.
Hope this helps, I did contemplate doing this with my own automatic turbo car, but with tuning and a few more parts such as a down pipe and porting my .02 I have reduced to lag on a T28/28 to better than the stock turbo.
