whats the belt even for? don't tell me it's twin charged?

If it was more compact it'd be pretty cool, but all the sticky out bits don't really do it for me...

Most of the turbo-modded bikes I've seen have external venting wastegates on them.

Depends on how loud it is I would guess... would be worth asking someone like Wayne Martin though.

How much does he want for it? Purely out of interest, I've got no money.

thats what I wanted to know, can't see any other reason for having a belt like that. Maybe the rear is turbo and front supercharged, more low end torques to the front one will surely mean it doesn't wheelie so easily, and more top end at the rear will leave plenty of traction on the front for handling right

Torks make it wheelie more, not power. IMHO
