I've run turbos on most everything I've owned so far and it's addictive to feel all that power which was not there before awaken and hurl you down the road. The only thing I haven't put a turbo on so far is my bobber:

Default Diablo InTune

I've found that when entering tire size into the tune so the ECU will calc correct speed it works best to enter inches rather then actual tire size...

I am wanting to do this BAD. Great thread, thank you for sharing!
Very happy with muffler. It's loud enough w/o being too load. Also, I can only get it to drone below 2000 rpm in 5th or 6th, otherwise it sounds great

Thats bad asssss!!! That shit looks so good in there. A bit tight, but it looks stock. I really like that. A little different blow off valve would be sweet! Nice job man.
That thing doesnt take much time at all to spool either.. Sounded and looked like 15-1800rpm. Not to shabby! It sure sounds like a beast once that psi builds a bit.
