    That's pretty short for most boxes - usually between 60 - 70ms works well. Shorter can risk missed shifts.

    I run 30ms on most of my bikes and rarely get miss shifts, if it doesn't shift then there is normally another issue somewhere, on my busa I run 25ms and the only time It won't shift is if I get bad wheelspin.

    I actually had a tank made a few years ago for a two stroke and when i picked it up they showed me and explained all about the moulds and tooling and what is getting said there is a load of rubbish, dont get me wrong there will be truth to some of this with people not happy with customer service which i read but a lot of the other stuff like this gets changed or complete nonsense, same as people owning the rights to the martek etc 

    I ordered 3 swingarms for rd 350s and also a tank, they never materialised, and the swingarm I had made for a bandit was shocking, it looked great from a distance but there was so much wrong it was just scrap,  the guy is a tool, he even said to me on the phone that he is not a business man and doesn't know what he's doing, it's a shame as they could have been the best out there.

    Compressor surge, bad for carbs?

    I deleted the diverter valve on my audi, it sounds great. But it also hurts spool time a little. I was much more confident doing that on a car than a bike, because the car has a single, beefy butterfly valve, and the bandit's carbs have the more fragile slides as was previously mentioned. 

    I have found a nice in-between though ,the HKS sequential blow off doesn't fully open below 6 or so PSI, so on low boost I still get some nice flutter but at the same time I still get that satisfying "chirp" from it at high boost 

    The carbs don't have a problem running without, the slides won't be effected it's the throttle blades that would take any stick.

    It seems like a "what you can get away with" scenario.

    Until my piston swap, I'm at 8psi and I don't even want that much banging throttle shut.

    Stock carbs have semi porous plastic slide material compared to most car's metal butterflies.

    I say if it causes turbo wear, reduce it.

    Just my impression.

    Just cause any turbo wear and the carbs have no problems with it

    Smaller turbo

    The td05 16g is not a great turbo, it's lazy and unfortunately has different flanges to every other turbo out there, a td04 13t is what you want and will give you the sounds you are looking for and also make up to 280 horsepower max but still hit hard low down as Clive will tell you

    Exhaust manifold fab

    The last major piece of my turbo bandit puzzle is the exhaust manifold. my turbo is a tf035, which doesn't fit the l proboost manifold. I've contacted big cc and a few others, and either got no response after a week or so or was told they couldn't make one at the moment. 

    I'm pretty new to welding, and only have MIG available. would it be possible to weld up a manifold with MIG instead of TIG? making my own seems like the only option without spending $700.

     

    Thanks.
