From what I've read, smaller turbos are more usable in the lower RPM range, but a larger turbo should work too, if the rider is willing to keep the RPM high.
I figure a larger turbo will simply amplify the idiosyncratic behavior of the stock bike waking up above 9000 RPM.

Link to map was included in my post. Here it is again: KP35 compressor map

Dude, it was stated several times that we are currently in the R&D phase for a project scheduled for the winter season. Taking our bikes apart now without having a complete picture of what components we'll need and how they are going to fit together is a recipe for frustration, so stop pushing.
