    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.

    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

    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.
