Mr. Turbo Stage One Kit yea or nea

[arthur39]

Was given a generous offer to puchase a Mr. Turbo stage one kit for my bike, has around 40 passes, I'm looking for an everyday rider low boost 6-7# 240 horsepower, no need for more then that, is there any reason I should stay away from this kit for those purposes? At $1500 I believe I should go for it, just don't want to be after the fact. My budget this year does allow for much more than that Lemme know everyone and thanks.

If thats all your budget allows then I would say yes. Get it to a tuner asap if you buy it. Good luck with whatever you decide.

budget for the turbo at this point, I will have the funds for the tune, and some extra parts, down the line just wanted to get started

Well, theres no telling what condition the turbo is in, it could go tomorrow or in 3years. That and the fuel system would be the biggest concerns I would have. Do you have any additional info on the system, is it an ebay item, or someone you know?

I found him on line in one of the forums, he is big in the sport and reputable, he read one of my posts and pm'd me, I called him, I don't believe he would steer me wrong, definately not desperate for a sale. He is well known in the drag racing circle. I haven't purchased the turbo yet so im hesitant to give out the name.

I paid $1300 for a used Hahn Turbo. And then a tank of gas in my pickup chasing fittings. See if it is the complete kit! I am into my Turbo for about $1500 now, but its worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!

complete kit minus the boost gauge, gaskets, comes with a scavenge pump my concern is it uses a one to one reg instead of a fmu, would this be easy to change or am I opening up a can of worms, like I said im not cracking the case and will be using mild boost. what if any changes should I make to the fuel system.

Upgrade to a BEGI FMU

If you need help with the install feel free to hit me up. I think I can do it in my sleep now.

thanks JDSBusa, I found a BEGI FMU today for a good price, brand new, on its way, I definately will have a bunch of questions as I go, with the fueling and electronics to make this safe and reliable.
