Since last year R&D\u0092s Kawasaki T1 Turbo kit has been gone through some updates. Bill Chapin has been consistently fine-tuning, updating and evolving the successful package. Multi National champion of Greece, Akis Malouchos tested the latest version of R&D\u0092s Kawasaki T1 Turbo kit. Jetskiworld.gr publishes his review \u0093R&D\u0092s T1 Turbo kit is an incredible substitute of the Kawasaki OEM Supercharger system. It provides superb acceleration from very low rpm and then hits harder from mid to top. There is useful power translated in to thrust through the whole powerband. I have sensed any turbo lug or hesitation when I closed the throttle and came back in to it. The power delivery is not aggressive therefore it does not wear out the rider. The big advantage of this kit is not only the adjustable boost pressure or the selection of low and high boost via a switch but also the great reprogramming set up that R&D has developed for the oem ECU. Therefore, there is no need to buy and expensive aftermarket unit with cost of periodic preprogramming service. The kit can be used with low boost for recreational or rough water conditions and it high boost in order to escape from the pack and be the leader. The test was carried out with a hot weather of 36\u03bf C, with ¾ of a fuel in the tank and regular gasoline of 91octane in Lake Havasu City. Top speed of the Kawasaki Ultra was recorded consistently at 78.5mph which is a very positive and promising result. I am thinking already to get one in order to use it next year in the famous Akropolis Jet Raid Offshore race which is very demanding in terms of reliability, fuel consumption and speed.\u0094<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Since last year R&D\u0092s Kawasaki T1 Turbo kit has been gone through some updates.
