Yes you can use the nitrous for turbo lag, we used to install the fogger nozzle in front of the impeller and it would not only get the impeller it also cooled the intake charge and eliminated the need for a intercooler. Also I don't believe those Aero Chargers are available any longer.

I don't see these turbo kits as being better bang for the buck than an HQ or GMR 95/103" kit. For around half the price you get comparable performance and none of the negatives turbos are associated with that are mentioned above.

Turbo's are hell on engine's, Ford built a lot of purpose built turbo engines in the early eighties, those things had sodium filled valves, forgedceramic coated pistons, special head bolts, special head gaskets, custom ignitions,extra large cooling systems, the list goes on and on, andthey wore out in 40-50,000 miles (I mean totally shot; burning oil like a banshi or blown up) it cost $1000's to repair them that's why everyone threw them away when they broke, I had a couple of them they ran like Jack the Bear but they didn't last long.
I just don't understand how you could expect a stock non purpose builtAIR COOLED Harley to last long under the pressure of a turbo or a blower of anykind.
It's been my experience that the main downfall of a turbo is it's so fun to beat on you end up destroying the engine in a short order.
