Very cool! Those who are asking clearly do not understand turbos or how they work.

I was just at Trask yesterday, some of the numbers they get out of their kits is amazing.
Have you done any pulls with yours and what else have you done?

Stock suspension for now but I have lowering rockers for the front end once I gets my new wheels done. chubby drag bars, coil relocation, seat, lowering shocks, powder coated all the engine covers, head light relocated, dash conversion, variable clutch and many other bits and pieces.

not sure how serious you are about going fast, but make sure you get something that will help keep the bike planted and stable at higher speeds. it would be more of a conversation piece for me, because i would need to wear an adult diaper every time i wanted to go fast

I know how a turbo works, but it is just so cool to see it in action. I love the way that they sound as well. Someday..................
