Wondering how much turbos weigh. Doesn't seem to be any listings for any of the brands available. Also wondering which ones can be used with electric start. I know electric is heavy too, but there are times, it sure is handy.
Thanks for any help.

Not sure in numbers, but it's less then the stock suitcase. But honestly, with 200+ horsepower, who cares what it weighs lol.

I have yet to see a turbo kit that didn't gain weight.

Yes, the turbo itself may weigh less than the can, but that's not the total equation.

We did a aero kit. Stock xm with stock muffler and stocker battery with estart vs xm with aero turbo kit, snow to air, and a light weight battery, there kit was 2lbs less. So basically a wash in weight.
