springer, as always, you have a valid argument. let me say this however, there are lots of guys out there spending over 7000 to build a motor that hammers itself with compression, has to spin pretty high to make hp, and runs on the raggedy edge of reliabilty. knowing the crank needs welding and timken anyway , why not add turbo and only beat your engine when you wanna rip on it, instead of it beating itself to death the whole time it is running? while off-boost, you would have a docile engine that would lumber along forever, on-boost, woooo-doggy!
not a turbo expert, but have been considering turbo for awhile. its something to stir the grey matter anyway! just dont let bean put one on the klr. its dangerous enough already. lol
