Welcome!

In this video, we transform an old, junkyard condition virago into a fire-breathing (literally!) Mad Max style Custom Bobber, ready for the Wastelands! I utilized two T28 turbochargers in Draw-Thru configuration on this turbo setup, with two VM-38 carbs.

If you are even moderately interested in turbocharging your carb'd bike but feel overwhelmed, or don't know where to start, my "How-to: Turbocharge your Vintage Motorcycle From Scratch, Draw-Thru and Blow-Thru - A Complete Guide" video covers EVERY detail you need to know. Pitot tubes, Carbon Sealing, Draw-thru/Blow Thru pro's/con's, setting up carbs for boost, vacuum routing, fuel pump selection, fuel pressure regulator selection is all covered in this almost 50 minute long video that breaks down everything you need to know.

There's also 10 more exclusive how-to videos, covering tank painting w/rattle can, lowering forks, carbon sealing your turbo, how to lace a motorcycle wheel and a half-dozen more. Come join us!

We do commissioned turbo builds as well, from basic budget friendly builds to full on show stoppers. Contact me via the website above for a quote.

We used to put ASMR in the title but figure that it's probably best to let the viewer determine if it falls in that category themselves.

    So you fabricated all your parts by hand, made your electrical plugs yourself, did all the math for the turbos, welded your own exhaust, polished your parts by hand. I know I've forgotten some things... You are a top notch mechanic, fabricator, welder, electrician. My hat is off to you. GREAT job. Thanks.
  • This video checks ALL the boxes. ASMR restoration, motorcycle content, engineering, fabrication, I could go on. 👏 👏
  • @DustySquitoNM
    Those front firing exhausts coming off the turbos look so gnarly. That is a sick bike build.
  • Ohhh, here goes my 37mins meditation session. Thanks a lot for doing it. It all looks smooth in the final cut but I can't imagine how much of time and effort was spent producing this video.

    Killing it man! Another beautiful build, can’t wait to get mine going!
  • Not often I watch long videos in their entirety, but this was definitely one of those rare times. Great video -- the asmr bits are amazing lol
  • @damikopiko
    I usually skip to the end when I watch someones build. I watched this video from start to finish. Amazing build bud! 😎🤙🤙
  • @zeedon
    I truly appreciate leaving in the mistakes. I can get in my own head sometimes, and seeing that even the the best of us aren’t perfect help me keep trying 🙏
