Unfortunately the site is in Swedish, but the smile and broken arm are worth a thousand words.

Thumpertalk.com does have a brief translation of the site:

It's made by a small swedish company which specialises in fitting turbos to bikes, but they usually work on sprotbikes.

The bike is equipped with a HRC kit which increases the power from 41HP to 48HP at the rear wheel.

The turbo is producing 0.7 bar of boost which gives 70HP at the rear wheel currently, and is expected to produce 80HP on the dyno when tuning is finished.

I've seen that one before...somewhere.I can't imagine how you could use 70hp at the rear wheel off road,specially coming on hard and strong like a turbo,but in certain conditions - beach,desert,big bit of open country,mile dirt track,then you could scare yourself shitless in 2 seconds flat.You don't see many turbo'd singles,some big pulses going on there,be interesting.

My computer was sloooooooow yesterday man,but sweet as today,that banner has gone and the blocked program opens,good work,you musta slapped the monitor in just the right place.I'll see what the supplier says tomorrow.
