Desmosedici - The secret's out!

Now we know why the Desmosedici is so powerful, it's Turbocharged!

If you look closely at the pic Monty took of the engine at last weeks JHP balbo, you can clearly see the turbocharger nestling between the cylinder banks.

Sneaky devils.

Yes well spotted I understand it's a proter type thats water driven.

I spotted that on the Pic the other day but dismissed it as a large water pump

Was fairly certain it was a water pump, but when I first saw it, I though it doesn't half look like a Turbo!

I don't care what it is but I am sure that engine would fit nicely into a spare frame I have lying around
