VIII. FUEL CONTROLLER
An aftermarket fuel controller should be installed at this time to supply additional fuel for boost. Fueling
is not included, as most owners will want to use their preferred fuel controller with this system. All
fuel controllers will tie into the injectors and boost reference line, but installation and features will vary
depending on the controller. Dyno tuning will be required to map the fuel controller to the motorcycle and
turbo system. Contact an Aerocharger tech or dyno tuning specialist for information and recommendations.
X. CALIBRATE THE AFR GAUGE

panels, and any other part that has been removed
during the installation of this turbo system.
www.AEROCHARGER.com
10.2
The AFR Gauge will enter setup mode
and display an “E2” error message. Turn off the
motorcycle and wait several moments for the
vehicle to completely power down.
10.4
Turn on the ignition again. The gauge
will now display “Htr.” After 30 seconds, it will
display “Cal,” and then read “22.4” indicating it
has been calibrated to open atmosphere. The AFR
calibration procedure is complete, and the sensor
can now be installed back in the muffler bung.
This completes the installation. If required, the vehicle may now
be taken to a qualified dyno service for tuning and mapping.
IX. FINAL REASSEMBLY
With the fuel controller installed, re-check
the installation. Verify that all wiring and lines are
cleanly routed, and that all connections are secure.

APPENDIX
E. AFR GAUGE GUIDELINES
A. FUELING
The Aerocharger turbo system for Harley-Davidson motorcycles has
been designed to operate on 91 Octane fuel available at any gas station.
B. ENGINE UPGRADES
This Aerocharger system is upwardly expandable,
and is able to accommodate engine upgrades for
increased horsepower output. It is important
to note that some aftermarket engine parts
will not work in harmony with this system. A
poor combination of powertrain variables can
reduce efficiency and cost the vehicle overall
horsepower. Consult an Aerocharger technician
for recommendations on components that work
well with Aerocharger-specific applications.
C. VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
Any aftermarket power-adding product can
accelerate wear on a vehicle. However, when
properly configured, operated, and maintained,
the turbo system should outlast the life of the
vehicle. Do not neglect the normal maintenance
schedule for your vehicle and pay attention to
it’s tune and performance, and the Aerocharged
vehicle will easily be capable of thousands of
boosted miles.
Aerocharger Turbo Systems | 14
• AFR numbers are most important to monitor when the engine is under heavy load, such as heavy
acceleration or climbing a hill.
• Monitor your air/fuel ratio to ensure that it stays below 12.8 when the engine is under heavy load.
• The AFR will spike to very lean levels when decelerating. This is normal.
• Sensors should be periodically recalibrated. Always completely remove the sensor from the pipe to
get an accurate reading.
F. INNOVATE MTX-L AFR GAUGE ERROR CODES
D. AEROCHARGER MAINTENANCE
The Aerocharger is a sophisticated and highly efficient variable
vane turbocharger. Unlike conventional turbos, it does not
require oil pumps or lines. The Aerocharger will not need more
maintenance than any other turbo - this graphic contains
information for adjusting the Aerocharger to ensure best
performance.
BOOST SPRINGS
Aerocharger boost springs are used to set the
boost pressure. Every Aerocharger is shipped
with a green 5 PSI spring already installed.

Aerochargers consume oil throughout their use. The
amount of oil consumed is very small, and the oil
level must only be checked once a year or every
30,000 miles. Aerocharger oil never has to be
changed - only added. There is no benefit to
changing the oil unless it has been contaminated
with a foreign substance, such as if the vehicle has
been underwater for a long time.
