Turbo 919? 919T? 50% increase in horsepower and torque? More than a CBR1000?

Yup, $2400 bucks for the kit. Now entering production from Wave engineering...

Stealthy, but expensive.

Seriously?
Have you priced Velocity Stage 1 for $5k, Hahn for $6500, Aerocharger $3500 for HDs, Ghetto for $4500.

Astronomical! You could buy another bike for that! :eek: Yikes!

OK, turbo is off my Christmas wish list.

Lol, I can't deny that, however if you're into racing its nothing to spend $10k on parts and labor to build a race engine.

okay, I ran across a thread on the British Hornet forum. A guy did this turbo kit... and it lasted about 10 miles / 10 minutes and the engine blew up. Don't know why yet, but it wasn't lean, the pistons look ok in the photos. Scratch that one off the list...
