Yes, that is one of the draw backs of all the mods. You can get an ATS housing or WW to stop the turbo surge.

Congrats on the new toys. They are amazing.

Welcome to FTE.

Man, i want one so bad, i might be calling you soon. Congrats on the DP and welcome to FTE. I had the turbo surge bad, and i did what rick said above, i did the WW(65.00) but the ats is more exspensive 425.00 but the way to go if you have it. My WW eliminated all my surge.

Just get the thing. I will promise you that you will not regret it. My only regrets with mine is I waited way to long to get it and I wish I would have got every available tune I could use. Of couse that's just a "look how cool this is" thing.

i wish i had a DP now. what exactly does turbo surge sound like? and will it cost the same amount to get the chip reburnt to the VB as the price it was to buy it in the first place, like $45 per tune again?

I'll call him tomorrow, taking your advice on writing every question down that needs to be answered. I want to get my order in before they close the doors for an event or research. Was on thier site last nite and said something about closing the 29th.

I am waiting on my dp to arrive, I can barely stand it. I feel like a kid at Christmas time. All gitty inside. I got the x treme wheel and haven't had any surge yet. I see how some could say its to loud. but not me I try to make it sing when ever I can. You can certiantly turn head with it. My mom rode with me the other day and getting on the high way she looked around to look for the flashing lights. All she seen was my big smile.
