Thanks gt40 for adding link i forgot...not that i know how to do it, but i did forget. member 0 miles so didnt want to beat it to bad. the speedo didnt work cause they forgot to hook it up. but the little time i did hold it i got 73.1 mph with the GPS on my Contour, and that was the last pull. so you can see i didnt hold it full throttle very long.

Awesome... How's the sound? How much different is the exhaust note from stock and can you here the turbo under throttle?

It is actually quieter. It sounds good. You can't really hear the turbo or the blow off valve. Is the perfect sleeper! Perfect. Have to get good clutching though. For sure quieter than stock.

Just the stock motor, running 6-7 pounds of boost. 91 or better fuel.

Excellent!! The Turbo factor is very appealing. I would probably ride it stock for a bit and do the kit down the road when $$ is available. 190 kit would be perfect.YamahaTim said:

Well I'm going trail riding today so ill see how it is. But it's awesome so far!
The 190 kit is a blast you can still ride with relative ease on bad ditches but when a field or lake shows up give it too her. My turbo RX mtn was either on or off no middle ground.
It is so quick to 80 mph that I almost overshot a few road crossings, I will have to work on that.
I did 50 miles in the ditches last night I need to work on the throttle and bar locations. The pull is so hard and bars are thicker than the rush my hands hurt today.
The break lever is a bit far to ride with finger on it may have to make a change on that also. At full pressure it is still over 1/2" from grip but my hands are small making it a challenge with full gloves. After my handguards get here I will try mechanic gloves only.
