Here be a turbo vespa i found , it may have been seen before, i dun like vespas really so i wasnt searching for it, sort of stumbles on it , here it is for all the scooter frothers out there :psst:jokes :-)

what, no dump valve?

It'll also need an oil supply to the turbo - a pump and tank....I see some hoses and stuff so they must have got that sorted.

Stupid idea, the cylinder and exhaust work together on a 2-s....there's no valves so it's going to tend to blow unburnt fuel down the exhaust.

Looks like another crazy German from the video.

I must be getting old cos I binned the sound after 10 seconds.

Thats how 2 strokes work AUU once an exahust wave hits the convergent cone of the expansion chamber it works sort of like a supercharger forcing the unburnt fuel into the cyl and burning it. thus the importance of pipe length and expansion chambers on 2 strokes - the term "on pipe" is used for that condition

Just stick a big IL4 in there...

I saw a recent issue of scootering with a Lambretta sporting some kind of 250cc m-bike conversion...can't remember what though. Where's Texmo when you need him?

The lammy in the latest scootering mag had a suzuki ug110 in it, but the Crx250 is what you want, if you have a spare frame and a spare $7000 pounds just sitting around plus freight.

Damn that turboed vespa was almost as powerful as my rg after i finished the work on it. Pity the vespa still looked slow :(
