I was gonna order a boost bottle kit for my blaster but i heard they make them blow the motor and do they reely help out the speed or throttle response
Boost Bottles

Use the search function and you will see several posts about this very topic , I outlined in them what a boost bottle does and why it isn't going to make any difference on the blaster engine unless you make certain intake modifications and have special parts machined for the blaster intake
Boost bottles provide a performance boost from idle or just off throttle to mid throttle on 2 stroke engines that don't use reed valves , my bro back in the late 80's and 90's designed and build and made a lot of money making them . The pocket bike rage used these engines that didn't have reed valves , just port timing and port position in the cylinder . This set up would cause air and fuel to always be forced back through the carburetor , causing a overrich ( subsequent bogging ) on the next on throttle position . Essentially the problem was cause on cornering so you have a powerloss getting back onto the throttle . The boost bottle gave that excess air and fuel a place to go instead of back through the carb and that aggitated atomized mixture is drawn from 1st from the boost bottle , it acts like a lung , the engine breathes first from it , then turns to the carb to keep feeding it fuel . The reed valves basically take the place of the bottle by trapping the excess air/fuel mixture in the crank case .
in a nutshell boost bottles are 4 engines with out reed valves but they give a small difference on banshees and help with the low end u lose with bigger carbs
The boost bottle on the banshee is simply a equalizer tube for the intakes , it probably does also do a good job of agitating the air fuel mix for better throttle response , but it's there to keep fuel/air being pushed back through the carb and causing turbulence .
