In this episode of The SXS Guys Offroad Podcast, I get to sit down with Dave Hsu from Kraftwerks Offroad, the dirt arm of Kraftwerks USA! We get to know the man behind one of the leading developers of aftermarket forced induction tuning in the automotive tuning market, and what they are bringing to the UTV market! We talk a lot of history, evolution, market adaptation, and supercharged/turbocharged power for naturally aspirated UTVs including the Kawasaki KRX and the Polaris Pro R!
