[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 3950, member: 456"] I hate to rain on your parade BUT what evidence is there that a turbo charger will work on a Vincent? My understanding is that a turbo needs a steady flow of gas to the drive side and one slow reving cylinder is not going to do that, nor I suspect, are two slow reving cylinders with unequal firing intervals. If our author wants to do the research then he should go on line and check on some of the new breed of small superchargers, using some parts of turbo technology. Think of something the size of a half pint to a one pint pot and you have the idea. It could be tucked neatly away and really frighten granny when she borrows your bike to go down to the local supermarket. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
