looks like your mate has a mission! on his hands!! i'm not into doing the T. up it's my mate's that i'm looking after and i think the turbo is a bit "old".... but i had it up to 190 today, i think it is slowly freeing up after toooo many years of neglet.

Going back to your question about the R1 - Turbo... It can, and has been done. They are selling a turbo kit for my bike now, takes it from 180bhp to 251bhp. Add in a PC3 USB, K&N air filter, Full Akrapovic race exhaust, nitrous kit (yes available), velocity stacks, and numerous other performance enhancing devices, and I'm sure you can easily crack 300bhp. Kinda scary on a 172kg bike

Holy Shit is about right. Saying all the above, it would cost you around $15,000 I'm guessing. It seems too much of a waste, especially when I can't use all the power of the bike standard at the moment! If I was a lotto winner, I'd definitely do it up, just to see what it's like!!!

Hell, you could get a pretty impressive time at the Flying quarters, just don't put your arms out, you'd probably take off.
