New turbo kit available
Check this out. It is pricey, but how can a person argue with that much power?

Uh..anyone else notice how it actually feeds the airbox?
How the hell are you going to make any sort of decent boost that way? Looks like it just fits over the left side intake inlet. :/

I don't understand...what is wrong with what they have done to provide boost pressure to the plennum area? All you need to do is block off the other inlet port through the frame and ensure everything is sealed up, and voila....you have boost.

You think the seals around the airfilters are going to hold any sort of "decent" boost? Id also have to find a new way to plug the hole left by the kleen air system....RTV aint going to cut it above a few psi  Or the inspection plates themselves?
Too many holes there.

Look closely at the picture of the air filter area. Those are not the stock filters and in fact look like some kind of cap over the stock filter location. The stock filters are not needed, since the turbo inlet has a filter.
The oil filter is relocated (from what I can see in the pics) to a vertical location just under the inlet of the turbo.

If you take an even CLOSER look you'll see that the turbo system comes from here: http://www.velocityracing.com/home.htm

Muzzy has a street version coming out very soon.......they are in the final stages of testing and development currently.
I know Barry (owner of Velocity Racing) personaly and race with him ....his products are very well made and perform as he says. Barry would not release the kit if it did not work correctly.

And besides... thats not the actual "street kit" bike in the photo. That's Don Smiths race turbo. 
Ive seen what the street kit looks like in person. Its very trick and fits under the stock bodywork. I had my camera with me.. but did not want to intrude on Barry for "sneak preview" photos of the kit.
I can say its a really nice setup!
