Told you it would be better than most people think, everyone junk's the GT2X without knowing anything about it!!!

Hard to see which one is right, they may both be ok?

Yup i thought this 3rd gear is awesome and i could'nt belive how torquey it is [B)]

But the question is should i hybrid it ?

yeah ones just slightly bigger than the other..1.5mm and 0.5or1mm i cant really tell...

Glad they turned up ok. Had me worried! The short shifter is about £25.00. Ive been so busy getting this KTM done that ive not had a chance to get an exact price. Im not as busy in the workshop so im office boy for the morning then i will have a looky.

It only cost Jamie £150 to have his made a hybrid, mine was £400 because the turbo had a full rebuild and hybrid done at the same time. The larger compressor definately adds power, how much I don't know but mine feels stronger than before.

Mine is in need of a rebuild as its blowing smoke on idle....So 200notes to get full rebuilt,250notes be rebuilt and thrust bearing added or 495notes for the full lot...

Not laggier no, if it has it must be by a very small amount as I haven't noticed, it's definately got more power than before yes, no doubt.

Edit: I stand corrected to rebuild it (new seals And bearings) and to have a full hybrid treatment is £395 Inc vat & P&P...so thats getting done on the 20th of this month...

No idea were i got £500 from.

Get it on the rollers first mate so you can get a before and after figure.

Ive desided to get my Gt2x rebuilt with uprated seals and Bearing ect for the time being then get it hybrid in march time...Seems the best option tbh....

Really like the video of you doing the flyby on boost, it sounds nice, good work, get it on some rollers so we can see how much power you have.
