Yea, so looks like thus far I'm going to be the only one to turbo charge these things. This one is used for touring around the US. The customer wants to have the power to pass and have a bit of liter bike performance while getting the better mileage of the 650. Having the power on tap plus even better mileage than stock, is the goal. Instead of buying another bike, he'll have something unique and fun to drive. I'm working on having a tight "factory" look to this. The pipes will get ceramic coated black (we think) and exhausting gasses will be evacuated through the stock exhaust cans to maintain even more of that stock look. Some of the stuffing will be removed from the cans in order for those gasses to run free. I'll remove 1lb from the stator for extra safety. It will have boost control from 1lb to 6lbs. A modified water injection system of my own design. This is being modified/built for longevity, reliability and mileage. I made approximately 48K miles on my SV650 before breaking a ring landing on the front cylinder piston. I was being greedy with the boost of course and pushing 10-12lbs. More pictures and video when this dude is running or further along.
