haha, no not really but I was wondering if I go full BPU w/ boost at 13 PSI with 720's, full exhaust, S AFC, profec b and add a 50 shot, will it let me get into the 12's with ok driving. I know the 13 B has a tendency to have boost creep and I know nitrous will cause crazy boost spikes, just wondering if it was safe thanks

port your wastegate and get a boost controller, then you wont have boost creep.

Get an electronic boost controller that compensates for boost creep and spikes, don't go cheap when you're talking about eccentric shaft magic: now you see it, now you don't.

S5 wastegate, ported big time if you want to run nitrous, and run it wet.
Running nitrous I still get my boost up way too high, even with a massivle ported wastegate. Time for a different engine/turbo combo I guess...

Go for it, but then you'll also need an aftermarket turbocharger, which you didn't list.

The stock turbo ahs in internal wastegate, which would be VERY hard to modify to an external, and not worth the money.
