I'm not convinced that bolting on the turbo as close as possible to the engine is necessarily optimal. While it is true that we are trying to avoid cooling off the air and wish to preserve the pulses, I think it is worthwhile to consider using two straight pipes (with 125cc volume each), before we merge and direct into the turbine. The idea is that we leave enough room for the exhaust pulse to go so that we avoid closing the exhaust valve with hot, compressed exhaust gases still trapped in the chamber. If fear that would aid detonation and decrease the amount of unburnt fuel that can go into the camber the next cycle.
Something else ... a KP35 could fit your purposes, maybe better. If you look at the compressor map
you can see that at 1.2 bar overpressure (16 PSI) and 0.56l/sec (120bfm) you're splat in the middle of the efficiency island, (maybe ~40-50kw). It's $243 shipped (

For our <$1000 experiment the KP35 is possibly a little too big. Could be good for a non-aggressively souped-up Ninja 375R?

Only problem so far is the clutch . I fixed that with beefer springs. I did have some engine damage but that was totally my fault . So far this year no problem .

What springs did you use? We're on a budget and will need a cheap source. $10 here, $10 there, adds up quickly.

It's a project for next winter! You'll catch a cold!
Just out of curiosity: if the necessity of a group order arises, would you be interested in owning a turbocharger-shaped paperweight, that just might have a motorcycle-related purpose?
