Unless you really like the shirt and changing reeds stay away there is a
reason no one run v-force reeds on a turbo.

I heard on the '14s with air-water intercooler, the VForce were working better AND holding up.

You know what they were doing better? How many miles do you get out of your stock reeds with BD's Air to Air? I have about 850 hard mountain miles on mine and I think they're about shot, it doesn't want to idle the best.

I put 700 miles the first year on my stock reeds with air-air and they were fine.; I do change them every season regardless. However, I heard the v-force held up with the air-water set-up and improved bottom end throttle response compared to stock reeds.
