Just had a few bits delivered the other day too, wide band failsafe, bigger fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator and waste gate , won't be long and I'll have these badboys fitted soon.

I haven't got a clue, add him on Facebook, he will give you advice on stuff like that, plenum size, clutches etc.
Nice work by the way, love turbo charged bikes.

I just asked my mate where he took his oil feed from on his thunderace motor, this was his reply, not sure if it makes sense?

"Mines come from the supply or return from the head, most bikes have a feed or return running down the front"

Cheers Gord, I'll have a look when in garage next.. maybe if I just fired it up then unscrew a few bolts I'm sure I'll come across one that pisses oil out

Why aren't the exhaust pipes flowed into the intake of the turbo, they're flowed into each other nicely, but then the flowing stops above the intake.

My intentions were to have the manifold flowing as nice as pos but I made the decision to do the so called log style headers so I could get the turbo as high as possible because the oil feedback has to be higher than the oil level in the sump otherwise I'd have to run a scavenge pump, which is something else to go wrong if that packed up, I've seen these log style before a bit more of a horizontal pipe with 4 pipes welded straight to it, no kind of flow at all but everyone I've spoke to and all research I've done says they work just as well, so at least mine has got some kind of flow coming out of the head eh
