The purpe thingy looks like the head of a wastegate. I cant remember ever seeing one plumbed to the outlet of an aftercooler. And that is one huge aftercooler at that.

Come on guys, dont complain about the looks of something if you dont fully understand what its going to do for you. If you want to sit back and look pretty, thats your perogative. Dont condemn someone if all you ever see is a nanosecond of their taillights. Given what I can see from the photos, the dude has done a pretty decent job of tackling a nightmarish task.

It wasnt that long ago I rode with a guy that had a turbo on a pan. The thought of having a 48IDA with velocity stacks under the brake pedal didnt sit well with me either. All he had to do was crack the throttle, and he was gone. If you want and can afford a turbo, you wont bat an eyelash at the cost of a motor. Once you've felt the power, the rest is history.

To the OP, get yourself registered as a vendor

 

I fully understand what this would do for me, it would make my bike fast as hell and look like $#it. A supercharger will do the same thing, be ALOT more reliable and look WAY better. JMHO

 

Exhaust issues for sure!

Thanks for understanding. I appreciate it, The purple thing is actually a Tial BOV (blow off valve). The wastegate is actually internal and divorced as an external..

Thanks again,
Daniel

 

I know what the parts are.............its still ugly...........
Hope your puttin on a air cleaner with a real good cover, gunna get real wet right behind the front tire.
Or is that for water injection?

 

You would know my view on this subject. I talked to Bob at RB Racing a few years back and the person who was left standing (after the lawyers) with AeroCharger (boost is good / Turbo Connection) and I believe turbo's are good if you fully understand what you are getting into. You must have an intercooler, EFI and deep pockets. As far as looking wise goes, I personally perfer the looks of the turbo (once I get done with it myself) over a stock barge that was chromed out by the dealer and everyone else has the same thing but in slightly different variations.

Why do I not have one? It takes an enormous amount of skill, knowledge, and understanding of motors which I am not in command of and do not have the time do dedicate to a project like that. BTW I also like reliability and going long ways away from services.

 

I have a 2.5" K&N with an internal velocity stack and a pre filter over it... thanks for caring

 

Then I guess it's not for ridin in the rain.........
