Mine is not a Backdraft, but an FFR. I know of about 10 FFR's that are running single or twin-turbos. I originally had a manual trans (broke it), and later switched to auto, no falling off boost between shifts. Would I do it again, ABSOLUTELY. It is freakin nirvana everytime I get on it, the low end torque is incredible, and it has completely docile street manners otherwise. I can turn the power up or down while driving, get 20 mpg on the highway if I can stay out of it, and around 14 mpg in town. I've been driving it 10 years now with about 36k on the odometer. Cheers.

I have never seen a turbo cobra but I know they are out there. Personally I think it would be awesome but for a few reasons I don't know if it would be for me.
1. I think I would want a 408-427 Windsor with a single turbo.
2. I would have to have the kit fabricated by a professional so that it would look and operate they way I would expect.
3. The biggest downside to me would be trying to get it to hookup and I don't like how a turbo muffles the exhaust.
4. Gas mileage aside I think I would rather have a nasty big CI 385 series.
5. Everything else aside I bet it would be dangerous as all get out. I would think you would need the absolute best set of tires you could get under you and a lot of practice and common sense with the throttle application. I've had a 600HP turbo streetbike and while it was a lot of fun when I look back I enjoyed the 220hp all motor setup better.
