I picked up my turbo kit from PR Friday last week and spent some time on Saturday and Sunday installing it. If it would not be my highly custom bike the install could be done in as little as 3h.
Parts fit very well, the header pipes go on very easy, much simpler than the Stage IV pipe headers. I went with chrome headers, chromed intake side of turbo and jet coated hot side. The kit comes with a chrome heat shield but I think I will make a custom one to match the flow of my bike.
Made my own SS braided oil lines. The kit comes with pre-made oil lines that install very easily but I wanted mine to match and tie into my existing setup.
The new fuel pressure regulator comes with a bracket and hose extensions to fit under the stock left cover. Again my custom setup required me to make a custom bracket behind the plenum (pressurized air box). Fits in perfectly.
Instead of the kit supplied mechanical pressure gauge I got an electronic version from Auto meter to math my gauge setup.
The last peice missing at the moment is a custom down pipe as I will be using the Stage IV 2 into 1 muffler. I just like the looks of it.
For now I installed a simple diverted to the exhaust port of the bike.
Download the custom PCIII map, set the fuel pressure regulator to 65 psi at idle and hit the start button. Engine fired up right away.
I have not had a chance to ride it, might take a couple more weeks as I will spend the rest of the year in Cupertino, CA looking for a new house in the San Jose area.
Pictures will follow once everything is done.
I will keep you posted!
