You will love it! Have been running one for several years and find them pretty good! Just keep the boost level sane and it will see you right.

I'd like to hear why after your research you chose turbo over supercharging and aero over trask.

For me it was:
- No waste gate needed as the vanes do all that work
- Oiling is all internal to the unit so no plumbing jobs needed (and that's a major plus!)
- They can sit vertical with the air intake upwards which makes the plumbing tidier - well in my case it does.
- Boost level is controlled by springs which are very quick to swap in and out.
- its plug and play! I can strip mine off the bike and and convert back to normally aspirated within two hours.
- supercharging options were thin when I started. Procharger was not compatible with my old Evo and Magnacharger super chargers had a bad rep for being unreliable (imo they still do). Prochargers are the bees knees though if you want a supercharger setup on a newer model bike; and folks like Drago know them inside out.
- I'm also a diy nut so to do the end to end setup for the Aerocharger was well within my skills and the tools I have. The fuelling etc was both challenging and fun!

Checkout my website "www.turboharley.com.au" as I have some build shots of the turbo etc posted up.

All up the power at the rear wheel is around 110hp. The heads are stock except for stronger springs from years ago and the only major change is an Andrews blower cam - EV31.

Well I picked Aerocharger because of the following
- Would rather use a Procharger on a Welded Crank
- Turbos tend to have higher torque without major work
- AeroCharger is self-contained oiling system
- Aerocharger runs cooler than trask

I also like the fact Aerocharger isnt up front of the bike and in your face.. Lastly I talked extensively to Aerocharger and they were very helpful and they are willing to customize whatever i needed to my bike and specs. Trask seemed helpful as well just seemed rushed while i was on the phone.
