Usually in a car, you could normally get away with 6psi when supercharging or turbocharging a stock motor (without an intercooler, 8-9 with). I imagine that would be true for a bike as well.

yes, i have much experience with turboing cars, but none with buells
so im wondering if it is about the same.

what about injectors? do i need to upgrade those?
do i run something like a vortech FMU to incease fuel with boost or what?

Try PM Fireman Jim. If I'm not mistaken he has done at least one turbo Buell
