With the quicker spool up of the DBB, there will be less of a lag and a smoother transition to boost.
As it is now, as soon as it comes on boost, it hits like a train.
Before the bike was broken (this last time) it was difficult to ride at higher boost levels.
It would not boost until around 6K at which point it hit very hard... lot's of wheel spin and wheelies.
The new DBB turbo is supose to begin spooling around 2500rpm... time will tell.
Hoping for a more linear power delivery.
And can you "ever" have "too" much power?
Come on... the same argument could be made against every liter sport bike on the market today.
Who "needs" that much power?

Would you be intending to put it on your bike?
That would be a fun project.

Absolutely not.

Bobster and I took a little road trip down to Exotic Cycle last night.
Felt like I was visiting a loved one in the hospital.
Velocity should have everything they need to fabricate the upgraded system.
Hope to get it back soon and begin the process of setting it up again.
