pulleys and nitrous w/turbo

do any of you have a turbo and the unorthodox ultra ss pulley set. supposedly it produces significant gains on turbocharged/supercharged vehicles. i am planning on getting the sf turbo kit and was just wondering if it would be worth it to get the pulleys as well.

also, would any problems arise from using a nitrous express single nozzle efi kit and a nitrous express ntercooler kit with the sf turbo (air-air intercooler setup). where could the nozzle be placed (seeing as the sf kit has that "bonnet" over the throttle body). i realize that when adding this much horsepower, a clutch upgrade is almost a must (ACT HC5-XTSS w/streetlite XACT flywheel ok?). am i overlooking anything ?

Yeah you COULD put the nozzle in the bonnet, but the best way to go would be a wet direct injection setup, also more expensive.
The pulleys would gain more on a supercharged vehicle, but i guess you might get 5 hp or more on a turbo car, but i dont know, I have never used pulleys on a 4 cyl turbo.
Definatly get a clutch if you plan on turbo and nitrous, it wont take long for that clutch to burn out, its better to just go ahead and change it out so you might be able to sell the old one to someone.

The flywheel isnt really worth it in my opinion. Yes, it will rev up a little quicker, but it is also going to rev down quicker. I would spend the money on something like a SAFC II, but thats just me.

the pullies are nice, but the cooler won't be worth it at low boost.
