$1,000 for a turbo. Think again! If you want one that is the reall deal and not problem child at best (blown motor at worst), think bigger. If you get serious about it start hanging out on a bussa and read, read, read.
It's going to cost me probably less then $450 for the turbo kit, I already have a turbo, all I have to do is get couple of flanges, feed line, drain hose, some tubing and that should do it. I had less than $1200 in my single kit on the five litter, it made 500rwhp at 15psi.

*ahem* Any new literbike will rip your arms out, so unless you're planning on competing in ProStar events, skip the turbo and get a new 1000...and more gear.
and a life insurance policy. Keywords there NEW literbike... I may be saying this in the wrong forum but I beleive its true. Very very few people ever even master a modern 600. What are you doing that you want that much more power? I assume drag racing only because thats the only way you'd be able to plant all of that power to the road. I could be wrong tho

I own a Turbo (stock from the factory) bike. I don't advise you doing it either. Unless you strengthen the internals, the motor is going to pop. Just sell your bike, take the money you would have spent and buy a used fuel injected liter bike.

I think stock motor should be fine with 5-6psi with premium gas, btw what's wrong with your turbo bike?

Hellboy,
Don't get me wrong. My 750 Turbo will outrun a Busa through the quarter mile. But my point is that the internals were strengthened from the factory. Meaning that they (Kawasaki) redid the motor to accomadate the boost in power to keep parts from shearing apart with the increased stress put on the motor.

Believe me, I am very interested in the prospect of you turbo charging your bike. Especially if you can do it cheaply with a how to. Just be careful about how much power you pump through the motor to make it work.
