that's pretty cool but not all that impressive from a performance standpoint. I really don't think my 331 is much slower.

Agreed! It's more of a spectacle than a well-rounded practical performance upgrade, but he's still shaved 3.5 sec off the stock 0-60 time!

Man did you see the automatic chain oiler in the first vid? Crash inducer... The oil drain line off the compressor pouring out the oil

Edit: ive seen (youtube) the use of a oil return line hooked up to the magneto bolt inspection cover, so this is pretty cool

I can't believe anybody's trying to find reasons to NOT put a turbo on a klx. To own and ride a motorcycle for "practical reasons" is probably not at the top of our list for reasons
why we love motorcycles. This guy is my kind of klx guy. We're saying "why" and he's "why the hell not?" We should each send him $5.00 to keep him going. He's obviously nut's and he is my hero for taking the different path.
P.S. It is a real pleasure to be able to throw around these ideas with people as smart as the folks on this forum. Thank you.

I think something is really wrong here. With a turbo and spinning tiny lil wheels you think that would go like stink on poo. Check out turbo wr250x he cant keep the front wheel on the pavement.
. Now I'm curious I bet my 330 would do 60 in 5+

The wr250x is also fuel injected, this is a much better setup to turbo than blowing boost through a CV carb.
