Turbo...is it possible?
Just wondering if anybody has ever turbo'd a CBR1000F?
I'm sure its possible but I would still need it to run properly in hot go slow situations like traffic.

RE: Turbo...is it possible?
I haven't dealt with MrTurbo personally but peeps that I personally know that have do not like them anymore. NLR, Velocity, Ghetto, Hahn -- these guys have produced some excellent bike turbo kits.
As far as reliability a turbo will run just fine in hot weather and stop-go traffic. When you're stopped the turbo doesn't build up any more heat than a regular bike. The downside to turbo on a bike is the constant maintenance. It's not a bolt on and forget it mod. Also rather expensive -- especially when you start thinking about intercooling or water/alchy injection, dual stage boost controllers, blow off valves and stuff. They will flat out scoot though
