On my setup I have a 2 stage boost controller to control the boost while only running one set of injectors.
Stage 1 (6 lb mechanical spring) is 228hp and stage 2 is 311hp max at 13 lbs of boost. I can adjust the bleed valve so I get anywhere from 1 lb of boost to 7 lbs of boost more power over the mechanical 6 lb spring in the wastegate. Its kind of like a never ending bottle of nitrous where I can call for an extra 83 hp.
Usually stage 1 on a 1st gen busa = fuel management unit and 1 set of injectors
stage 2 = FMU replaced by a upgraded fuel controller and adding a second set of injectors

Yea baby!!! 
Very nice~!~

Gather up about enough $ to buy a new busa and that should just about cover turbo, upgraded overhauled engine, tuning, and labor, etc. But then you only have half the power and do not get the exhilaration of riding boost. I like to think of it as a tremendous savings if you compare it to how much it would cost to build up a car to run this quick.
Takes plenty of labor to get to this point and put it back together to make over 300hp.
Consider rods and pistons alone will run about $1400
turbo package, plennum, header, BOV, shipping, etc is about $5000

Seems like a shame to have to hide those rods inside the engine. Those are NICE! Sounds like you built a really good bike! I love the detachable water tank and led light.

H20 tank connections even has dry break quick disconnects, Scott put a lot of thought into the complete setup.
I know what you mean about the rods, Wossner makes some works of art. The details in the pistons alone are cherry.

Wait till one of those BMWs tries blasting past you
Yeah let us know how this turns out
Toy with him and let us know his reaction

Compressing air builds heat and that can lead to detonation (engine knocks or pinging). The more lbs of boost the higher the charge air temperature before it gets into the engine.
The H20 injection lowers the charge air temp. Either use H20 injection or an intercooler (air/air or a water/air type) to cool things off to keep an engine healthy and be able to make more power.

OK, I understand the need to cool air, and that water injectors is one way to do it. So, essentially it's like spraying water in very hot but dry climates - it has a cooling effect by evaporating and therfore cooling. First, compressed air wouldn't be that dry and as a result water evaporation process may not cool as effectively as another method. Second, does this mean that all that extra water which was injected into the intake goes right in the combustion chamber? Wouldn't that somehow affect the entire combustion process process (maybe harder to ignite, maybe slow to burn, etc) ?
