Default turbo'd zx-6r

hey guys i was just looking for some advice from some experienced riders out there, im looking for more power out of my bike and i know most of you would just say"get a zx-10" but here's my dilemma, ive got alot of money in my 06 zx6 including full beringer braking,bst carbon wheels, full ohlins susp. axis rotors and the list goes on. i luv this bike and everything about it and dont want to spend all this coin over again so whats your thoughts on a turbo system, will it give me useable upgraded reliable power?

a buddy of mine loaned his 2003 gsxr600 to a shop that does turbo systems for bikes. i guess they needed his for the prototype. they gave him some stuff for letting them borrow his bike. if i had the kind of money tossed into a bike like you have i wouldn't want to sell it and go bigger either. sorry i can't be more helpful but please keep us posted. and if all else fails post back and i can see if i can find out the name of the company that did my buddy's gixxer. it's in southern ontario, couple hours from toronto.

what about full exhaust, race ecu, jumper mod? things you may have done already by the sounds of it. just thought i would toss it in. oh and what about a gear change? even goin up a few teeth on the back makes quite a difference

thanks for your input man i really appreciate it, ive done the sprocket change twice actually cause i had to get a new sprocket for the bst wheel cause of the cush drive, i got full akra exhaust and jumper mod and pc3 but no race ecu. ive also got factory pro velocity stacks and shift kit,gilles rearsets carbon fiber everything except the upper lower and rear cause i want it to be a sleeper. again today i called all around the states and was surprised no one wants to even take a crack at it. im going to get it done its just a matter of finding a reputable shop that can tune it properly,if you could get the name of the shop that would be awesome.

well they just used his bike to mock up the turbo, i'm not sure if he even saw it run with one. i'll try and get ahold of him this weekend.
