Anyone know if I can mount a shock with a piggy back reservoir upside down? There's an 07 Raptor 350 Shock on Ebay but it won't fit with the airbox in the way.

I dont know i have never saw a seadoo supercharger. the turbo issue was that it wasnt spooling up. it was only creating aroun 6lbs of boost, we were hoping to achieve at least 10lbs, but it was a freebie and no guarantee that it worked. the oiling was easy to get but we couldn't figure out why it wasnt spooling right. we took it off and tried alky again then the motor blew up into a million pieces. just a ballpark guess we were capable of producing 55hp to the rear wheels with little motor mods, mostly all in the carb and cam set up.

Hey TM
can you get any pics of the seadoo supercharger? i would like to see them. the turbo was insanely easy to mount and set up. the open space in front of the motor finally had a use.

Yeah I can get pics for you. My brother has an RXP that is supercharged. He might have one on the bench as well.

Have you checked your valves? Intake should be .001-.001 and exaust should be .003-.005. That is what I would check. Also check your timing.

It looks like the banshee rear shocks are the same as the warrior's theres a works unit for a banshee i might pick that one up and have it rebuilt.
