RE: new here
I'm afraid you're gonna have a bad experience. First, the stock exhaust will not support the weight of the turbo. It would take serious effort to modify it to even fit. Stock airbox would most likely be useless also. To hit 200hp you'd probably have to run between 5-7# of boost -- that'd most likely cause the airbox to leak air all over the place and possibly blow it off the throttle boddies. An aluminum plenum is preferred with some sort of mounting point to keep it on the throttle bodies.
You'll also need a power commander to retard timing and dump wads of fuel as the turbo spools up. And if you plan on extended high speed runs you'll either need a spacer to reduce compression or either an intercooler or water injection to reduce heat and avoid detonation.
I'm not trying to deter you from boostin that bad boy but you need to be aware of how much goes in to turbocharging a bike. The actual turbo is the least expensive part -- it's all the custom made $hit that A) costs $$$ and B) drives you nuts. Don't even get me started about check valves and blowing up MAP sensors[8D] My install was on a 2001 Busa and was somewhat custom. Took me over 2 weeks (probably around 100 hours) to get everything installed. Took another 6 months to dial it in.
Good luck dude.
