Engine probably blew and he doesn't want to hear the flak.


V twins and turbo's have never been a good mix for any longevity.

If his engine blew, he's already heard the flak!

I believe the M8 is a 10:1 CR, that's kinda high for a stock turbo application of anything over 8 psi without ignition or fuel correction.

Forced induction on a stock HD engine can only go one way if you get on it.

Turbo, what fairing setup is that? Looks like an HD outer with Dragonfly inner? Is that even possible? Whatever it is, I want it on my FLHRXS!
