Default turbo F4i

here is somethin that might be interesting to all those with F4i's seeking more power. i am in the process of designing and building a turbo kit for my F4i. i will keep all that are interested posted on how things are going and then the results in power once i am done. anyone that is interested can email me at jdmrex7@msn.com, or IM me at jdmrex7 on AIM. once the kit is complete i will prolly make them and sell them to anyone that will want one and it will be almost universal. i will be able to do the setup on any bike. thanks and safe riding
Chris

why would you bother with this??? to make a fast non-streetable bike??

buy a 954 or a 1000rr if you want to go faster and still have a streetable bke

I'm with Mike on this one. Turbo a 600? why bother? Just get a bigger bike.

I understand why people turbo the 1k's or Busa's, they're psycho

Sounds completely stupid to me, unless you can make the power delivery more linear than stock.

Otherwise, you've got full boost coming on in the middle of a corner? G'luck with that. Unless, of course, you're doing this for the bling factor and don't ride very hard. In which case, go for it.

gonna have to agree with the bunch here, i can understand if you're high-posting with the bike and just want to be able to say i have a turbo f4i..but why not put nitrous on it, that way you're more in control of the high boost instead of getting it when you dont need it ("...full boost coming on in the middle of a corner...").
