Why thankyou, it had me a bit baffled. here's a better pic...
and i thought you bucketers would appreciate the 'creativity' in this other bike that was running

I think it is a pressure box for the carb.
The carb is designed to have air 'sucked' though it.
If you try to blow air thu it without a box around it imagine what would happen, Fuel wouls piss out the vents every-which way.

hahaha... look see its not even a turbo as I thought, well it is but modified to run with the engine revs so what you say isent quite right as the turbo spins with the engine not with the gasses so therefor a plenum which is a fancy name for surge isent nessaserly nessary... Koba has the right idea.

While super charging gives a more even power it takes power to make power, wereas a turbo uses wast energy to produce power.

I'd be really interested to know if the bike had carbs fitted. If not, and I cant see any sign of them, I suspect the red thing may be some sort of throttle and fuel regulater with possibly some sort of blow-off function as well.

As for the supercharger, they have fitted a similar sort of mechanically driven turbo compressor to lots of cars, Holden V6s for a start.
