The guy is over at Buelletinboard.com and he set up the system and is also adding water injection. Nice guy and seems to have done his homework. later, Bart |

Sure looks like he knows what he's doing. He relocated the pegs and added the rightside scoop. I like the cheese removal and movement of the license light. That s%$# must fly. the 's in my head are all of a sudden getting to work. |

I think I would have mounted the turbo lower and forward so pipe was not on your leg.Really need a longer dump pipe to make best power.Turbo bikes are amazingly quiet as the exhaust noise energy is dampened/absorbed by the turbo. Both my turbo bikes with dump pipes are quieter than comparable bikes with race cans. |

Firemanjim, Yeah your right, That will quiet down the Engine like you wouldn`t believe , More quiet than STOCK ... Thats cool if ya like that, I never seen a Turbo or HEard of a Turbo working all that Good on a V-Twin yet... I was always under the understanding that Turbos are good for Inline 4`s but not the Cats MEow for V-twins... |

Hmmmm... one part, two jobs. Reduce noise and add boost. Lots of room under that engine if you don't need a full exhaust can. |

I'm curious about the length of the header pipes to the turbo. Does this make for much lag or is the power sufficient enough not to make it that important where the turbo is placed? Lovely installation. Looks clean and simple. I bet the bike leans slightly to the left though. Rocket |

Notice the modified belt tensioner from Trojan. What are those yellow things under the seat? - looks like some sort of hoses and I saw the yellow spring but I dont think it's part of that |

I for one think its a pretty sick setup, its pretty well thought out. The compressor is mounted at its location because of the simple bend into the hole through the frame and right up to the intake. I am curious on how he regulates boost without a waste gate, I wonder if it has a blow off valve under the air box cover. Maybe he picked a turbo that would hit the maximum boost levels right at redline. I would really like to see more on this bike, I hope it works for him. I would like to know what kind of engine manegment he is using. |

My bad I look at all the pics and could see that it has an internal wastgate right on the turbo but could not see it from these pics, opps |
