It has been done by one of our members, Lemegacool. I believe he has gotten 8lbs of boost out of it. Search above for turbo shopping kart. It's quite the elaborate set up for minimal extra performance.

man, you can put turbo on it with a mini air compresser and a 12v battery. an engine bacicly runs off explosions right. to make the bang bigger is to add one of the 3 thing needed to make an explosion, fule (peroll) ignition (spark plug cdi) and oxogen. find a way to get a mini air compresser into the top end of the carby and air tight and heat proof to coz if you bugga it up you will need a new carby. and dont put to much more air in to it or it could go bad and wreak the motor.

:mad2::mad2: I call BS... Complete and utter BS. A compressor or several hp might put out enough cfm to barely make a difference at idle, but it wouldnt even supply enough air to keep the engine running when revving.

u noticed a differance because u wanted to notice one
it is all a matter of u wanting to be right and when u work hard on somthing u always think it is the best idea

it is good to get a third party to check your ideas (i use these guys) because they can see the faults

Seriously... Iskelly- I want to SEE this. I'm sure many others here do too. I want to know how this could possibly have done anything. You say it worked. I could say I'm running my clone on dog pee. Let's see some pics, or video or something.

We're not riding your case because we're mean. We're doing it because you are either very innovative and have come up with something brilliant, or very misled in thinking that your little 12v compressor actually did something for you.

So- let's see, shall we?
