24K miles on Muzzy Stage 1 turbo
Dead reliable, same return pump. Sweet machine. Street tires don't work well at the strip, have to short shift to keep from spinning the rear wheel at any speed.

Only 5#s. Dyno'd 235 hp @ 165 lbs torque. It's a daily rider an the actual mileage on the bike is over 34K. Best time was 9.59 @ 148.29 with a Michelin street tire. It will do better but I ride it in and back out. It's an honest street bike with all the mirrors, turn signals etc.

Good to hear Dave, sounds like you're enjoying the heck outta that turbo machine
What brand of return pump are you running? Whatever it is I wanna get me one of those

You'll have to call Muzzy, it came with the kit. # is 1-514-385-0706. The key to the long life is that it was custom mapped by Salt Lake Motor Sports. The plugs looked new after 10K miles on the turbo. Fuel mileage has been 38+ mpg.

Same thing here. I'd love to have one but budget dosent allow it. I think the problem I'd have is when I got one, I'd just want to make it faster and faster.. A never ending money pit. I'd be better off to stay NA

a turbo kit is in my budget, but the broken parts that come after the turbo kit are not in the budget.so thats why ive stayed NA with the occasional 40 shot every now and than ive maybe sprayed 3 pounds in it

spinning pretty bad? or are you a bigger guy? mph seems a bit low for 235 hp?
