turbo anyone?

[sean]

been quoted £2900 for a ride in, ride out all in job to fit a turbo to my Hayabusa. this will give 285BHP at the rear wheel. If i sell my power commander, carbon akrapovics, and the bmc air filter on ebay it will be about £2100 ish. i'm seriously tempted! got to get xmas out of the way first though. insurance shouldnt be too much of a problem, no more than a £150 increase. hmmm, difficult choice. should i do it?

Can they do it to a TA?
That would make it handle interestingly on the mud!!

[Taz]

I spoke to a guy locally last year who had a turbo `Busa.

His son owns a GSXR1000 and does stunts and all that mullarky on it.

The guy got his son to ride the turbo ` Busa while he was on the Gixxer.

While doing 150mph,his son cracked the throttle open and the `Busa spun the rear wheel,leaving a black line on the road....AND WHEELIED

Should you do it you ask ???

Only if I can have a go

[Simon]

do it, with that sort of power you should be able to visit ireland without needing a boat!

[Wee Jack]

MMMMM ! it all sounds very attractive and appeals to the the big kid in all of us.

BUT 285 horses when about 150 of them are unusable 99.9999% of the time !!! .

Sould get you some serious advantage in the "my knob is bigger than your knob " type conversations down the pub.

But if it floats you boat - you go do it and enjoy !!

You made loon! What sort of lag is there on the turbo? I wouldn't fancy the turbo kicking in half way round a corner.

[jvaughan]

Always fancied a Busa ... and more so a turbo'd busa.

Go for it. you only live once.

What about a turbo ZZR-1400?
