I have parted out alot off of it already. After months of selling it all I was still left with my turbo kit. So I've decided to put it back on and wire in a TT ecu to control fuel instead of a AEM standalone. Hopefully I can achieve a more DD friendly driveable turbo setup. My setup prior got to a point where I was questioning why I had so much invested and I wasn't getting any enjoyment out of it.

All you needed to do was take a day and take it to get tuned, instead of giving up on it.

I actually had a scheduled date with Brad Brooks but had to cancel due to the smoking issues that later resulted in finding a warped head and the turbo seal was leaking badly. All in all it was a learning experience as I did learn alot with aemtuner working it myself but I was chasing my tail with bigger issues. Hopefully I can simplify the tuning a bit with the JDM Supra ecu and have a more enjoyable setup with a new HG and ARP head studs.

What year is this?Is it on of the newer crossplane crank models?I love the way they sound!I've kind of gotten out of bikes in the past couple years,so I have a hard time anymore figuring out exactly what generation all these newer bikes are.

It's an 2007, this body style was made in 07-08 and it was the first models with drive by wire. The 09 and up had the crossplane crankshaft that sound like a v-twin.
