well I got lucky and traded one of my extra car stereos for a 2011 tao tao 50 needs work cause the previous owner was quite neglectful. When I got it I drove it home heard a rattling in the cvt case found out the kick start spring was broken, also the tail light housing was broken my friend helped me fix a lot of the minor stuff I plan on doing a big bore kit to it and possibly a turbo i've been seeing gy6 turbo videos and I want to make mine faster. I also need a side view mirror and to fix the front plastic this will be a SLOW build so bear with me.  |

I'd rethink the turbo unless you just wanna do it for fun and have good mechanical, tuning, and fabrication skills. Most of the time the small engines aren't seeing enough boost to make much difference, so it's more of a cool factor or bragging rights type of thing IMO. It would be easier to swap a two-stroke in there built up than to get the turbo setup right most likely. Prob outrun the turbo 50-85cc 4T anyway.

Adding a turbo will greatly shorten engine life. Doing a BBK will help along with CVT mods. If you want speed you could also do a 150 engine swap. still alot cheaper than a turbo without all the hassle with tuning.

That's a good point I didn't think of that

i've been noticing an issue with my scooter and was wondering if you guys agree with me on my diagnosis, when I hit full throttle it feels like the clutch slips it slows down to a crawl then speeds up then goes normal only on full throttle if its on 3/4 throttle its fine I beleive it to be the clutch not 100%

Inspect the CVT. If the clutch or anything is slipping that bad in there you should notice some signs of it. Glazing of the pads, possibly bluing from all the heat slipping can create, or maybe even belt dust or streaks from a belt slipping. It's unusual for a clutch to act up only at WOT while cruising along. I would suspect a possible lean main jet or a vacuum leak.
