Well I'm no engine modeler. I can only speak from experience. I have one of those engines with a turbo crank done by the mention person. The engine is a Novarossi 3sct tuned. The engine did not turn out the way I wanted it. It had decent midrange and top end; but the bottom end was non-existant. I tried every type of clutch adjustment known to man and the engine would not get out of it's own way. I'm not sure if it was the mods he done to the sleeve or the crank. I just replaced the piston and sleeve back to stock but I'm not sure If I will have to replace the crank. The engine was pretty much new so I'm slowly piecing it back to normal. I'm not here to bash his work but his mods did not work for me at all. If anybody wants to donate a 3sct crankshaft it would be greatly appreciated

Pass you soon.... with a different engine
