          • Man i think its sick !! in a good way. I hope you are not working at some cheap low paying job. i have been doing machinest work for 28 yrs. evrything from manual to CNC. You have talent. and a lot of it. It doesnt have to run perfect, go over 250 MPH, 6 second quarter. you made it yourself, you made it work. The bike does run. I was under the impression you wanted to put a turbo on a kat. and make it run. YOU DID !! when evrybody else said you couldnt, wouldnt, shouldnt, HAHAHAHA Man you did it. !!!!

                  if you ment pitot tube? then its the same on the other side, going to the vent for the bowls on the carb.

                  • the only reason i ask is because you have 2 hose coming from each side of the pilot tube. Im sure one hose goes to the bowl vent, i was just wondering where the other one went.

                      • def subscribed.... awesome work so far! cant wait to see the finished product! might be changing my mind on the 1127 swap now... just for that "different" factor...

                        also, since a smart car turbo is kinda hard to find right now... can you think of any other, more available turbos that would work?

                            • looks like a good turbo... but are there any out there that dont cost 3k just for the turbo? like any old DSM turbos perhaps?

                              • per my buddy rob, the list of turbo's you want to look for would be, obviously the smart car (kkk kp31), gt12, gt15, gt17, td04, tdo5h, k04, k03.... thats what i was givin, the reason i got it was becuase i found it on craigslist for 120bucks.... ill get an update tonight hopefully, this past week i haven't touched the bike, ive been sick.

                                first, i dont know what a pilot tube is...... but now a pitot tube on the other hand.... its going to both vents for each carb, i bought the T for the carbs but it wouldn't work so i had to run each individual line.
