I have read quickly through this post, I have a turbo bike. Stock compression, pistons, rings, rods, and crank. Three years riding and racing at 15- 20 psi of boost, no problems. You can run pump gas at lower boost levels, to run high boost levels over 10+ as stated you have to over come the detonation problems. This is done with fuel octane (race Fuel like VP C16 etc.), timing, inner cooling, water injection, etc. If you are going to increase the Boost to gain a high Horse power even with "turbo Pistons" 7.5-9.0 range you would still need to run high-octane gas, etc. Setting the turbo system up knowing the compression ratio will allow you to safely use the system if you use it smartly.... Not run 10+ psi boost on 10:1 pistons with pump gas.... Use timing advancer in stead of retarding.... etc. Any one can destroy a good motor.... we all here the stories of this company sold me a turbo and it blew my bike up.....no the user blew the bike up by lack of knowledge. You can install a turbo on the busa and NOT change any pistons etc. You will have to use high-octane fuel when running high boost and other means to control detonation. You should be able to use pump gas and run the bike at "lower" boost levels. While the bike is just cruising it will NOT have high boost pressures at the valves but be a vacuum, only when the higher hp is used will the cylinders see the extra pressure. David G.
