One argument that makes a turbocharging upgrade more attractive than an EFI upgrade, is that all the other currently competing 250cc models already have stock EFI and it's somewhat likely that sometime in the near future all Ninjettes will have also have stock EFI. Furthermore, it is very likely that no 250cc bike will have a stock turbo.

Consequently, turbo-systems would remain upgrades, whereas EFI-systems would become spare parts.

Can you publish an ordered list of which components showed wear or tear with increased power-output?

Presumably you've done a lot of research before choosing a suitable turbo. How much smaller is your VERY small turbo compared to an RHF3? How much does it cost?

You completely missed the opportunity to imply a dissociative identity disorder with bi-polar and passive-aggressive alter-egos.
