Should I got with a setup like:

Or go big and get this:

I understand the work that comes with a turbo, as alot of my buddies have them and we work on them alot, and i've taken peoples advice by doing alot of reseach. But I'm not completely sure...
Would this turbo just be a lot of hassle, and just get the N/A setup? Or is the turbo a good idea?

All that N/A stuff will get you maybe 15whp. Woo!?

GT25R is a SMALL turbo, like really small... like would probably work better on a 1000cc bike small.

Do some more research, IMO the only mods worth doing to the single cam is to turbo it, otherwise just don't waste your money on all the other crazy crap.

a good turbo would be a nice name brand aftermarket, or an OEM that's bigger than a T25. the DSM 14b, as stated above, is a little bigger and will spool up almost as fast and will give you more power throughout your whole powerband.

or just go to the junkyard and find a cummins and rip the turbo off that beast.

or you could go with the standard t3/t4

with a dsm turbo you'll have to get a DSM flanged manifold, with a t series turbo you can bolt up just about any t series turbo
