[Chase]

If bikes are our phallic extension then turbo's are the wart on the end of it.. go forth my son and get infected.

If you need a hand mate give me a yell, happy to offer what little skill I have.

[kev@vcm]

[latheboy]

Turbo's are so 2011 :D oh wait it still is....

1 or 2 turbo's?
Carby or efi?
750 or 1100 or 1200?

You've got alot of choices to make Kev.

Would an EFI turboed engine be less of headache?

[latheboy]

For that motor I'd say carb's are the easy way forward Rod324573140956310765187365087316518730653108756 but others will say EFI.
