I can't say i've seen this done before. Does it have enough stuff to spool it up well or is more just one of those yeah i tried it deals? If its anything like a turbo on a car you might want to watch out for melting foam under the boys too...

looks ok

are you going to put oil to the turbo? it wont last long without oil.

curious to see how it runs, thought about this myself.

i doubt the turbo will get very hot running low boost

You can see the oil line running straight to the turbo.

DUde it loooks gross but pretty sick, now you need to get a vid of it revving up and blow off valve blowing, and then one of you riding it.!!!!!!

Engineering at it's finest right there Great job!

Now if I could only get motivated to do this set up on my race car I too can be turbo'd but with V8 power instead

what turbo did you use? what carb? man we need stats.

it's a subaru vf33 primary turbo from a legacy,have only had one proper ride on the beach so far and it's running too lean.it gets bloody hot under there!think a heatshield under the seat would be a good move.not sure if it's spooling up fully at the mo(ii didnt rev it very hard on the test run) but its whistling away under there(very pleasing noises!)..re jetting this week,currently its using a suzuki gn250 carb with a 135 jet,then stronger valve springs so i can rev it harder and spool it up.not sure if i should hook up the blowoff valve?because the carby is on the outside of the turbo the blowoff valve will be venting fuel air mix not fresh air!hopefully i'll get it all running sweet and i'll post a video of a run.
