There's a book out there (can't remember the name of it) specifically about slapping blowers and turbos on bike engines....

Gives links to all the standard installations as well as DIY advice....

But yes, the Busa turbo install is a quite well trodden path....

Natuarally depends on budget.
I would say Blade engine because if / when it goes pop the engines are easy to come buy and cheaper to replace but I only earn £5k a year

Thats the only problem with Malc of MB Customs...
He's virtually in another country! I mean everything else is perfect, his knowledge and ability - Spot on! His service and attitude - Spot on! His willingness to help and advise people and not care about making a penny from it - Spot on!

Top Bloke!

If you're gonna stick a turbo on it, I too would go for a Busa.

Paul,
What has been done internally to it to produce this sort of power?
What boost power will it run normally?

Cheers
David
