                    It even looks like the houses next door, and the whole being on the outside corner thing. even the damn brickwall.

                            Supercharging a bike engine isn't easy,no way to drive it with no external pullies so it requires lots of custom machining.Decently sized turbo will be "fairly" linear anyways.

                            Where is those in car 0-100mph runs I asked for anyways?,I'd like to compare your S52 to my M52 E30.;)

                                Hah, I'll get those soon enough. Problem is, not sure how to record it myself... borrow a GoPro? Have a passenger record it (skews the runs)? Do a shaky cam? LOL
