    You'll probably need a turbo. Don't quote me on it.

    Have a good read of deano's thread.... You can turbo with either carb's or injection its just up to you... You'd be better of with a after market ECU if you go that path..
    Booster had a turbo calculator somewhere have a search for that!!!!

    Blow thru carb setup is very well described here http://www.turbo-bike.net/ under connect to plenum,
    copy the tube sizes exactly and it will work fine,
    I have ridden Brett G's turbo blade that featured in Rapid last year, it had a garrett gt2860 and seemed to suit it well.also used this turbo on busa's and 750's , very versatile..
    make sure you build the headers with enough height that the turbo can gravity drain and it will save a lot of headachs .
    If you send me your number i will forward it on to Brett, he is usually quite happy to talk about his bike.

    Greg I remember you talking about making your own off the shelf turbo that you could sell at the Aus Hayabusa run down at Jindy, did you ever come close mate? Or are you there?

    Time short to do it & import stuff like RCC is cost effective, so just keeping it at hobby level

    That was when i gave Dirtbags a ride and he came back all grins and giggles,

    This is so disheartening because I really want to understand what that guy was saying abought his turbo kit , cause surely not having to F/I the motor the cost should be cut by heaps wouldn't it[?]
    Greg are you able to shed some more light on this [?] And also is it necessary have an intercooler [?]
