Need a formula, about nitrous vs boost Options

[SlowCelica94]

In a very general sense, turbos and nitrous both add more air and fuel to the engine. And both put a certain amount of stress on the internals that can be measured in psi w/ turbos. So we all seem to agree 8psi is safe for the 5s. But we've seen 12psi, forget who. So what would a 50 or 75 shot translater into as far as strees like psi? Meaning, wouldn't a 75 shot be like running 7psi? (round 9-11 hp per psi, 75 shot equals 75hp) I know my equations are creud, so if anyone can clear up, lemme know.

only way to compair, is to take an engine to a HP where it just bends/breaks a rod or some other part.

lets say for a stock internals 5sfe turboed, even tuned properly so that no detonation will ever happen, that at 265hp, it just breaks.

so thats an increase of 130hp over stock

then to compair, a 130shot of nitrous would apply the same stress.

of course this is very generalized.
