No, the T5 is a 5 port motor anyway. The only 2 kits that are really available are the Polini 152 and the Malossi 172. The Malossi is Nikasil lined, whereas the Polini isn't. A T5 shouldn't need any more pep, they're as quick as PX200's when they're standard. What sort of top end speed do you get out of it?

It should do a little more than that. What condition is the motor in? Have you seized it up at any point, and what exhaust are you running?

go for that 152 Polini, maybe T5 exhaust and the correct jets and you'll like it! :)

put the motor right with new seals etc. replace piston rings (they need replacing quite often on a T5) and fit a PIAGGIO original exhaust. mate of mine has just replaced his sito plus with a proper standard silencer (it was £100 quid !) and it has made it run great.
