In fairness I know I'm very new to bikes, only have had my licence for a few weeks and this being my first bike but simply having the fairing it feels to me as if the bike is faster already, simple aerodynamics I guess or that I dare go above 6 now lol

Turbo charging is easy and I've alot of posts saying it can't be done or is to expensive to do, which is kind of what I'd read and been told concerning the GSXR fairing and I did that with all materials plus fairing for under £100, so lets see what turbo charging does shall we??!!
I think again I can do the full system at under £100 to be honest and unlike the other 2 I've seen this will be intercooled as running without an intercooler at such high compression is just crazy in my opinion

I don't think anyone said you couldn't fit GSXR fairings, the question usually asked is "Do any fit right on?" the answer is, as you've discovered than none are a perfect fit and some custom brackets are needed. Nothing too serious, but not everyone can weld

Turbos on the other hand are proven (by at least one of our members) to work just fine. Have a look on here, there's a chap who's been very happy with his results.

Bike looks good, keep up the good work

Well I must've read the no they don't fit and no turbos will blow the engine as the cranks are weak posts incorrectly then sir, for that you have my apologies

I think it looks decent. Glad you removed the GSXR decal too.

So I haven't got dug in on the bike this weekend due to having to try and learn how to lean in corners and get my knee down in prep for my first race day on the 10th of September but I did pick up a couple of bits to help my little project along lol



A nice little solid state fuel pump, clean and clear stable 4psi as after looking into the bikes fuel system I found the diaphragm vacuum pump which will never support positive pressure!! So that's fuel delivery sorted for £15!



And I also grabbed some nice shiny pipe for a high level exhaust, not bad for £20!!!!

Fingers crossed I'll be on it next weekend and have this turbo done, I just need one more piece of the puzzle!! Just got to did the time between learning bike control, gaining confidence and then building stuff for the bike haha no rest for the wicked!!
