    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

i got the thing running pretty well, pulled turbo apart removed excess carbon, soaked carb, tuned it to the best of my ability, went and bought some 110 octane and off I went, the bike is almost too much to ride, at 7k its almost pushing 20 lbs of boost. Would love to get it out to a track and find out what it can do. So far I have put about 100 miles on it, with no ill affects. Thanks for all your help guys
 
20lbs of boost ?

holy crap, what engine mods have you done? I can't imagine the lower end staying in one piece for a long time
 
That should be pretty fun. I'm glad you got your turbo stuff worked out. Good thing you got 110 octane. You really have to watch with turbo motors as they can start to run lean real quick and that can cause serious problems. Happy Boostin'.

I remember reading that the turbo you got with this bike is a Rayjay. They are fairly sturdy units with a low pressure supply. However they are still vulnerable to out=of=balance conditions. Did you mark and re-align the turbine shaft and compressor wheel? If not you might have started an imbalance that will shorten the life of the rotating assembly quite considerably. I have a turbo rebuilding business and will give a very good enthusiast deal on rebalancing just to help you keep this turbo from grenading. This is not an advertisement or a fishing for work. I just hate to see someone lose a turbo because of a lack of balancing.
