What turbo is that? I am not used to seeing them so small in that engine bay any more so my point of reference is hosed. lol

Its a 67 mm dual ball bearing turbo with an .84 hot side makes over 700 to the wheels at 26 lbs of boost
I am not into those monster "lag master turbos" I like the twisties and road courses so I like a turbo that spools quick and has full boost @ 3800
It does not make the huge numbers some of the supras do but in response and fun to drive factor it gets it for me

Not much...mostly comfort oriented mods. That photo shows a sport-touring windscreen which I just replaced with a more aggressive one.
The full exhaust adds a few hp, but more importantly sheds 35 lbs - roughly a 7% weight decrease.
With the bike already capable of 0-60 at 2.6 seconds and 1/4 mile in the mid 9's from the factory, it's already fast enough for me. Some people add turbos to them which just seems like overkill for a street bike. Power to weight ratio of 1:2? Better stretch the rear swingarm 6" and lower the bike. Forget about doing anything but running in a straight line then.
I guess they do that on the off chance they run across a tuned Supra.
Saw a guy with a turbo busa from Birmingham smoke the tire at over 150 to crazy for me !!!

Oh, I understand. That is the way that I would put it together, too.
