Really nice and clean! Classy and mean!

What did you do to the engine internally for reliability? Did you lower the compression ratio and use a forged crank and/or larger rods and pins? How about the throttle body and ECU?

The levers are shorty CRG's. They feel really slick!

The engine has stock internals with Cometic MLS top end gaskets and SE cylinder studs.

The throttle body is stock but modified for an additional manifold pressure port for the blow off valve.

The ECU is also stock and remapped using Direct Link software. It has worked out well so far!

What is that under the bike?? I'm familiar with Turbo systems on cars but the part under the bike where the muffler would have been is perplexing me.

Xbswede is correct! Water injection tank is right!

126hp and 100 ft/lbs of torque last dyno run. That was a while ago and I have been meaning to get it on the dyno again. I hope to push things above 130hp and maybe 110ft/lbs torque next tuning session.

What are you running for boost? also is the lag? if any? and power band? short or will it spin right up to redline building power?

what turbo model is it?

I have a bunch of car guy friends that are heavy in turbos (2 WRXs, 1 plymouth Laser, 1 EVO all modified ) and I would love to start thinking about some type of project like this.

Right now I am running 7psi with full boost onset around 3200 rpm. The turbo is a Garrett GT22. Before I did anything to the XB it had 85hp and 73ft/lbs of torque on this same dyno. Here is the last dyno chart:
