Has anyone ever thought about a turbo?

boondocker makes them for the 2 stroke sleds,

but the fuel injection and control of it makes it almost foolproof.
add a craburetor into the mix and jetting for the boost gets hairy.
 
but, if it can be done to a banshee..............

and it doesnt even have a blow off valve on it if your gonna have a turbo on a quad you atleast gotta have the turbo sound
 
would this actually work?? i found one google search saying that a blaster wouldn't be able to get it to spool fast enough to produce boost
 
I thought about this recently but i dont think it is really a practical idea. First off yes it would be able to spool the turbo if you had a small enough turbo. Second you probably couldnt run more than 5 pounds safely. think about when you do a leak test you compress the motor to only 7 pounds because you risk blowing seals if you do much more. With a turbo you are basically doing the same thing only while the motor is running. It would be doable for a short run time but most likely you would blow seals and have a lot of pressure leaks. Also figuring out an exhaust manifold would be extremely difficult because of the expansion chamber and such not to mention the jetting nightmare that would be especially at partial throttle. It probably is doable though if you have enough money time and skills.
