Your question has been answered twice already. I already posted in your other turbo thread. (one of three now)that EricZ who has the most complete turbo XB on the board, that I know of, is using a Garrett GT22. I would imagine a GT15 or GT20 would work also. He may be coming out with a kit this year.

There are not that many turbo Buells running around but one of the most knowledgeable is firemanjim who told you about the IHI turbo that you reference. So if you are questioning him, you aren't going to get much better info from anyone else.

Google turbos and flow maps. Read, Read, and then read some more .Then pick your turbo based on your needs.
