turbo time....

i use a blow off valve on my 84 750 turbo
it greatly reduces turbo lag
when you go from a wot condition to closed throttle and back to wot again
lets the turbo kinda keep a full head of steam so its not trying to spool up against a already pressureised chamber
plus it sounds cool as hell

They do - it's just in different places on different setups. On my bike it's very obvious - the rectangular box under the pipe - just where it wraps around the engine.

wow! that bike makes me wanna cry I think im just gonna give mine to my neihbor and start collecting cans

beautiful bike man

I believe you only use a blow-off valve on a blow-thru system. You can't use it on a draw-thru as it will open the intake plenum and you won't build any pressure. A blow-ff valve and waste-gate are two different things to accomplish different things. Waste gate regulates boost while a blow-off valve relieves pressure in intake to allow turbo to spool down without going against pressure in intake after closing throttle.

With a cold air intake you might be better off, to use a vacuum operated carburetor with boost it seems too complicated. Yeesssssss.

With the increasing use of chat rooms and an endless number of places to get information these days, be careful, much of it is bad information. Every Horsepower number claimed by us on our website, over the phone, or any advertisement is based on “rear wheel” numbers from our DynoJet 250 dyno. Rear wheel numbers, at the pavement, confirmed by other dynos around the world, no exaggerating, no “pie in the sky”, and no bragging… just fact.

by the time you get done paying for that you could buy a used zx14 ninja that already has upwards of 170 horsepower, and if the police catch you using (the power)it you will probably need the helmet for what they will do to you.
My first car was factory rated at 81 horsepower, 4 speed, front wheel drive, and 2000 lbs(rough estimate)capable of 105 mph or so, why risk your life. also had seatbelts.
