X2 I am very interested.

How much for rear axle, axle carrier, and brake assembly shipped to 84120... ~Dustin

How much for the caliper mount?

How much for a complete e-brake / clutch lever assembly shipped to 84118?

if you have a oem carb i may take it.

By chance do you have a oem carb?

I havent got down there and looked, I bough it last fall and and want a skid plate for it. in that case ill get on ebay and buy it. Do you give discounts to BHQ members?

WTB OEM swing arm skid plate, I looked at your auctions on ebay but need the required hardware as well. How much shipped to 84118?

wish I had pix of the kx80 I had back in the day :-/ puts yours to shame lol the piston was shattered and most the pieces were no bigger than a thumbnail

UPDATE.... Talked to a friend over I/M on how it controls boost... here is my convo with him..... then i refine it at the bottom so that more of you can understand it. Dustin~ says: how does the wastegate and boost controller interact to control how much boost you run? Jonesey says: hold on, Ill explain it in a sec Dustin~ says: k Jonesey says: k so, the turbo works by air going over the turbine right? Dustin~ says: yes Jonesey says: well exhaust gases pass the turbine and spin it up Dustin~ says: yes Jonesey says: well the wastegate is an alternate port that bypasses the turbine Dustin~ says: i know this Jonesey says: Ok, so if there is no air going across the turbine it doesnt boost if its all going through the turbine it overboosts so, the boost controller regulates how open the wastegate door is and that wg door position regulates flow across the turbine Dustin~ says: right Jonesey says: so thats how a boost controller works in a turbo, less is more so, if the air has a free flowing path to the wastegate the wastegate limits boost more so by limiting the air to the wastegate, you increase boost pressure by holding the door shut longer Dustin~ says: i see next time im over you will have to show me what line goes to what and the purpose i know that the door opening is what controls how much boost it pushes but i want to know how the boost controller works the wastegate and i guess how a boost controller works.... all in all i might just have to see it and have you show me each step Jonesey says: the boost controller works by limiting air K, think if you had a door actuated by you blowing in it and this door opens well, think how much harder youd have to blow to open the door if there was a kink in the line the boost controller acts by RESTRICTING air to the wastegate I cant "show" you how it works I dont have anything to show you with Dustin~ says: i have that turbo and waste gate actuator would that help? Jonesey says: yeah, that will show you how the wastegate works but seriously, its simple to wrap your head around restrict the flow from the turbo to the wastegate, and you increase boost Dustin~ says: i know the principle of the waste gate just not how the boost controller will hold the gate open and close.... i know air goes into the actuator and pushes against the spring to open the gate but how does it know how far to open and close it to keep a steady psi Jonesey says: the boost controller can do it different ways you have your ball/spring design so, it takes x amount of pressure to push the ball into the spring and once thats achieved, it allows the door to open if pressure drops below x the spring closes and the wastegate doesnt open so thats a way to control it you can use a bleeder type, where it literally just bleeds pressure off so it takes more to get there and an electronic boost controller has valves that pulse. The controller unit knows how much PSI the turbo is putting out, and it has range of operation, so it knows how to pulse the door to keep it open where it wants it thats how my profec-b works Dustin~ says: i see Jonesey says: it has a electronic solenoid controlled by the head unit. Head unit has a map sensor in it map sensor tells head unit Im making x amount of boost, and the head unit can see my boost curve so it controls it according to the knob settings on the unit Dustin~ says: i see Jonesey says: Im sorry if this isnt answering your question, but I cant SHOW you how a boost controller works Dustin~ says: ok that would help Jonesey says: you just have to wrap your head around the concept that limiting boost pressure to the wastegate is what controls boost, and any way you can do that achieves your goal Dustin~ says: once i get it in my mind what does what then i will have a much bigger understanding Jonesey says: do you have an air compressor? Dustin~ says: so with the car off is the gate open or shut? yes Jonesey says: gate is shut Dustin~ says: k Jonesey says: gate is always shut until you start boosting then the gate progressively opens Dustin~ says: so pressure goes into the line for the actuator and opens the valve accordingly Jonesey says: thats correct as the turbo builds pressure, it pushes against the wastegate and opens it boost controllers work by intercepting that signal and generally holding the gate shut till a preset amount of boost it makes you spool faster, and boost harder till the gate opens Dustin~ says: ok got ya THE REFINED PART>>>>>>>>>>> Basically look at these pictures 1 2 say the spring in the little canister (waste gate actuator) is 6 psi once the boost hits 6psi and the gate will be open so the exhaust pressure drops and you stop bosting as much then the dorr closes more and you boost more this just fluctuates as your boosting the rod you see in pic 2 pushes out of the actuator and opens the door accordingly depending on how much air pressure is in the top part of the canister. So on a stock car say a Audi 1.8t there is no boost controller. so once the the car starts boosting it starts to open the gate more and more leaking more and more exhaust pressure till you hit 6psi it is open, and it will open more and shut more depending how much boost the turbo makes regulating it close to 6psi. Now in picture 1 you see the purple line, it will have boost in it once the turbo creates positive air pressure, say I cut the hose or make it longer, run it up to your dash then install a boost controller then run the hose into the inlet on the boost controller then another line out of the outlet on the boost controller and back down to the wastegate. As the turbo boosts the controller reads how much boost your turbo is boosting. So till it gets close to your preset boost pressure (turn nob up or down on boost controller) it will start to open then send boost down to the wastegate actuator and let it open a little so you dont over boost. It will send pulses down to the actuator to keep your boost steady to the setting you have it set. Now with out a boost controller as soon as you start boosting it is going right to your actuator and opening the gate more and more as your boost higher and higher till you hit 6psi or what ever size spring is in the wastegate.. with a boost controller it sends nothing till you reach the desired boost so the door is held shut and ALL exhaust gasses go through the turbine so in return you have less turbo lag and it boost much harder in the bottom end. How the boost controller will let you boost more than the 6psi (spring) will let you is it will send 6 psi or more down to the spring to open the gate when you let off the throttle bust say you want 12 psi the controller withholds air from going to the wastegate so that the turbo boosts over 6 psi without the gate being opened, when you get to that 12psi mark the gate will slightly open and then pulse opening and closing to keep boost up to that 12psi mark without going over Due to the boost controller sending pulses of pressurized air to the actuator thus controlling the boost!!!

Here is something you should try it's a real blast!!! Try riding a snowmobile from Texas to key west skimming across the ocean at 90mph. No chest protectors need just scooba gear as a precaution LOL

watch this vid, it has a real dickbag in it lol wait till the part "time to befriend the locals" about 2 mins 10 secs into it
