thanks for all the input on the subject. I do wonder if that thought doesnt change at least some with synthetic but you all have much more time with scoots then me and the last thing I want to do is throw a bearing for not having heavy enuff oil. When I am checking the valves on monday I will change the oil back out to a 10w40. thanks again.

..4t's require peridotic valve adjustments...

..the service manual calls for every 4000 kms, after the first 4000 total kms...

Ok got a reply from MBE Motorsports about the turbo. He said,Hi Brant, I have not tried it on the 50cc yet but I think it might be too
small an engine. I have a customer who is running a turbo on a 50cc 2 stroke
and only getting about 1.5 psi of boost and a 2 stroke has twice the exhaust
as a 4 stroke. It might help if you pit a 52mm (90cc) big bore kit on it.

   So I think the turbo is out. But I have A crazy idea lol. not going to tell anyone about it yet untill I do my reserch about it. dont want to look like a moron lol

Hey Rianna, if you are wondering about throw a kit, have a look through eye candy for "throw a kit" by Hollywood Holt. (I think I got that right).

  LOL thanks for the encoragement but if I go over 50cc then you have to have a motorcycle licence in FL so I wont be doing that. I will give out some of my idea. Why not a ram air system. It would be simple to do and since an engine is nothing more then an air pump and its all about getting air in and out "with the right amount of fuel mixed in" A turbo or a super charger just forces air in. We are n ot talking about big gains but as I have read on this site so many times every little bit counts. I am going to build it next week and will take pics of my build and post them. also will try to do some runs with and with out to see if I get any gains.  If anyone has any ideas I would apreciate any input.
