Turbocharger for those that need it.

The Twingle! my coworkers girlfriend has one sitting in her garage

sounds like a lot of work and money, when I say..just put a bigger engine on it..hard to beat more cc's or cubic inches...just ask the boys who build small blocks to run against big blocks..takes alot more money to do so

Don't just sit there, grab it! It will probably be a Sears Allstate (rebadged Puch), and therefore of quality construction.

OK, see if you can get the owner to offer it to you first if they do sell it.

oh, another problem you will run into when running a turbo on a single cylinder motor, the exhaust pulses, on a 3 or higher cylnder engine the exhaust pulses are alot smoother, on a single the exhaust pulse hammers the impeller. this increase wear on the thrust bearings. not a problem with a ball bearing turbo, but as far as i know no one makes that small of a BB center housing for turbos.
