Its ok though, the person before you said that 2-strokes have too cold of an exhaust because they burn oil and the turbo won't spool. I've literally heard everything and the opposite of everything at least once ;)

I have more time into just designing an oiling system for this bike than I did in all 3 of my turbo kits for my Civic. It'll get done when it gets done, but there has been alot more ---- than just bolting on a turbo.
