what kind of bike ? how much $$$ is involved? also are you doing anything special to the motor for it to hand the boost? sorry for so many questions but im really contemplating(sp) turboing one of my bikes.

You went with a far bigger turbo (considering) before riding with the smaller turbo? Did I read that correctly or...?

Unless you have a 2100cc engine in that bike, oh boy. Should be fun.. hope you're used to hot wheeling it.

what kinda bike is that on? just curious as to why you went with such a big turbo. i'm thinking that unless you have a hell of a motor behind it, it's gonna lag quite a bit. that's an awefully big impeller to spin for most bikes. what's the whole setup?

i've invested close to $10k motorwork involved. My turbo isn't that big compared to some of my other turbo'd bike friends. The bike is a 2003 hayabusa. Sorry I didn't respond sooner and thanx for the replies. I've been in the garage. If anybody has any other questions please feel free to email me at Lzbrown@hotmail.com or aim at Lzbrown1 i'm on now, and working in the garage. Doin all the work myself DIY rules.

Would like to see pictures of the combustion/turbine housing and wheel whenever you get around to it.

Sorry i just checked and I didn't take any pictures of that. I would do it now, but everything is on the bike. If it helps it's a .63 a/r stg3 wheel.
Thanks.
