I was told 270hp at 13.8lbs at 5,000ft...
This was on an 09 M8 and I believe it had a prototype closed loop fuel controller as well.

The Turbo 2-stroke world is growing fast, and there are some great kits out there!! I can personally vouch for Twisted and Cutler kits, both work extremely well. Would be nice to have a Turbo 2-stroke shootout with all the manufacturers at 1 place to compare (and I don't mean drag racing, we get that at Revy and Fairview).....

Can we just get all the posts deleted that aren't related to Push turbos?

i too am very interested in the kit and how they run but also wondered about the oil cooling, looks very vulnerable.

I spoke with Ken at the SLC show and he said that if I were to damage the oil cooler with out signifacly damaging the sled he would replace at no cost to me. So he must be pretty confident in this system.

I thought the same; I wonder if it would be possible to run a disconnect that loops the turbo-oil supply and can isolate the cooler. The turbo would be susceptible to heating but most kit are anyway so you may lose a but of power on long runs but, hey you'd still be riding...
That said the Push is a Beautiful design/build I love the notion of using the turbo support as an oil line, brilliant! His focus on light weight and fast spooling are on the money, both are key and most builders ignore them, well not ignore them, but don't make a point of addressing them like he does, well done Ken!

That would be Sweet!!! I just hope product tester shows up! I want to see how my littlle ole' M7 stacks up against that D8 that supposed to put out huge HP with Zero lag...or that M8 @ 4.5 #'s of boost.
Should certainly be interesting.

A comparison would be great. Race gas vs race gas. Pump gas vs. pump gas. Same boost levels. Would love to see that. Push, Twisted, BD, Sibler, OVS and any others would be killer.

So, is the oil cooler really necessary? Why do none of the other kits use one?
