Nice,
Make sure you lock it up tight so it's not stolen like the Yellow one was a few months ago.

I actually get around 21 mpg.. this is the L5 not the Alpha H3....Speaking of Z cars... my old Z shop car...STS rear mount Turbo..Loved that thing. Fun car..not good for autocross though

VERY SWEET!!!!! How much $ for that set up and how many hp? Turbo back there would probably help with the heat issues...
I have the roadster. Great car except for the speed problem... It wants to go faster than the signs on the side of the road say. I got the Escort Live now which has saved my azz a few times. Great thing! Last performance award was for 93... he was right. Detector said exactly 93 when it went off. (GPS detector) Glad I slowed down. It gets really smooth at 100+.
Is the Hummer better than the Z? At towing anyway??? LOL!

I have an '07 R1, but Yamaha packaged it a bit different than yours! i do believe my 150hp inline 4 cyl was derived from an R1 engine.
IT HAULS THE MAIL!!!

I kick it with old school technology. 06 Katana.

Sweet bikes and sleds guys ... that's gotta be one torquey bitch of a sled biff do you find it hard to keep the skis down? Thats one of the nicest stunt bikes i've ever seen rampage, that a two bros pipe? (btw sorry for kinda jackin' your thread, but you've got your bike in here so its all good)
Foster, I had an 02' kat man I miss that bike, I could literally ride that thing all day long. With my bike I'm starting to feel rough after about an hour and a half of straigt seat time!

DOC!! Yeah baby, a Buell Brother!
I had an '04 XB12s and sold it in 2008 for an XB12xt. I love the crap out of my Uly XT. The grin factor on the torque of a Buell is only matched by the 4-stroke sleds!

Benefits of STS Remote-Mounted Turbochargers
Lower underhood temperatures. No need to worry about melting wires, hoses, or other engine components, as with a front-mounted turbo.
Ease of installation. STS turbo systems can be installed in about 8 hours with standard tools and average mechanical ability.
Cooler oil to the turbo. Cool oil is better for both the turbo and engine.
Performance Sound. The turbo acts as a muffler and sounds like an aftermarket performance muffler. Turbo spool and rushing air from the blow-off valve make a unique sound that will turn heads!
No need for major modifications to your vehicle. STS systems are designed to "bolt-on" to factory mounts.
Increased gas mileage. Unlike a belt driven supercharger, the turbo utilizes "wasted" energy leaving your tailpipe. Most of our customers get 1-3 mpg increase in gas mileage compared to their original stock mpg numbers.
Converts back to stock in about an hour.
More room under the hood. Future repair work or modifications will not require the expense of removing the turbo system to allow access to engine components.
Lowest Intake Air Temps. Low IAT's equate to more horsepower per pound of boost than any other forced induction option. STS intake piping provides built-in intercooling. Add the optional intercooler, and IAT's drop even further.
Approximately 500F lower turbo temperatures. Eliminates the need for a turbo-timer, which allows the engine to run after the car is shut off in order to cool down the turbo and prevent oil and bearing damage.
Denser exhaust gasses drive the turbo turbine wheel more efficiently.
Turbo is exposed to ambient air rather than underhood air. Allows for better cooling of turbo components.
No need for expensive headers, mufflers, or exhaust systems.
Turbo is closer to the tail pipe outlet. Provides a better pressure differential across the turbine wheel which promotes better flow across turbine.
Better weight transfer. Increases traction because the bulk of system is mounted in rear of vehicle rather than up front.
Less noise and heat in the passenger compartment
130+ HP Bolt-On Gains.
A combination of our patented remote-mount technology combined with an intercooler provides the lowest consistent air intake temperatures over any other forced induction system on the market. Owners of otherwise stock vehicles will not only experience gains of 118whp @ 6 pounds of boost and 135whp @ 8 pounds of boost, but also receive the benefit of increased fuel economy over the competition. The beautifully tuned exhaust note from an STS Remote-Mount Turbo System is sure to put a grin on your face as you accelerate past all those would-be challengers
