nitrous...well, you'll run out eventually and after several years, you'll have spent quite a bit more than on a turbo setup. and also, the nitrous can seriously damage you engine from overstressing and overheating if the nitrous is injected for too long. a turbo doesn't need to worry about it
You do have to worry about the same problems with a turbo... Naturally it's doing the same job, slamming more air and fuel into the combustion chamber... Stay on the boost too long and the motor will blow just the same as it would if you sprayed too much.
