Have a look at this; you should recognise the poster...
http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=61089
and then you can read this:
http://www.turbo-bike.net/
And here:
http://www.bike-turbo.com/forum/garage.html
And then you can start posting specific questions on here and the above forum, you should really only get responses by half decent people as you are
asking more specific questions of people that should have prev knowledge...

Just a word of warning..... if you turbocharge your engine you will compromise it's reliability. To what extent, depends how well
it's done. If tinkering with the engine is something you don't mind doing for the increase in performance, then go for it.

i would of thought that the best way forward would be (if money were an issue) save weight and set up better. theres good weight to the saying
'all the gear and no idea' not meaning anyone tho - but rather joe bloggs with no idea could buy a bugatti veyron or summink - not know
how to drive it, but a chap who knows his stuff and can get the best out of what he has can still do wonders and really fly.
if you can afford it busa everytime.. strong bottom end on them if its looked after. better to buy the car with the engine in due to resale costs now
being very very low.
i bought mine for 12k - with 8000 on the clock - new - 29k built by westfield.. look around it can be cheaper than you think with weather being bad
and recessions etc people sell up
