if I put a turbo on my bike, what cosmetic changes to I have to do to the fairings, /plastic if any? will it have to be visable, or can I leave the bodywork alone. most of the time I see the thing hanging out the side? are all the kits that way?

Some kits allow you to tuck a filter under the bodywork.....it depends upon the turbo you get and how much clearance you have to squeeze in a filter. I believe Mr. Turbo kits tucked the filter under the bodywork. I'm turbocharging my 14, and there was no way I was going to have a filter sticking out at the bottom of my bike. I'm using the stock filter location with a BMC race, and have a screen and thin piece of foam on the intake end of the turbo to protect it. Its all under the bodywork tho...no cutting needed :thumbsup:

You could actually get a setup with no cutting, but I like the dump pipe look. :thumbsup:

most kits have the full exhaust option and the small filter, but i believe you will still have to grind a little on the plastics insides to fit everything not really noticable though
