are you saying you want a turbo for your utility quad? I have only seen them for banshees so far, but I'll bet you can rig one up to your utility with enough time and money.

Some dude in Puerto Rico rigged one up for his 400EX, check out the July issue of dirtwheels, they have an article about it. Thanks.

Back in about 86 or 87 someone out a turdo on a TRX350 4X4 (remember those) and I guess it ran great but the problem is you can't regear a shaft drive. the thing I would worry about is that a turbo creates alot of heat and on an air cooled engine that might be to much for it. Now I remember someone put a custom supercharger on a Warrior and that worked great i guess. What ever you do yoou will need a custom system. Paxton superchargers is mainly automotive but I beleive they are working on a unit for motorcycles? With this you might be able to run a pully and belt off the flywheel.

I can't say that i would not want one if there was one. I would like to hear from someone that has seen one and find out how it worked.

4Tecate,

Remember them, I was riding mine tonight! Terribly rough ride, hard to steer, lousy brakes, but one tough machine! Tonight it was pulling 1000 lb loads of topsoil ...
