You know of course this is gonna be expensive? Flat top pistons, shot peened rods or Carillos or similar, not sure if they are pressed cranks, may require welding, heavy duty valve springs, heavy duty clutch, extended s/arm if you don't want to be flipping it all the time. Easy-to-adjust wastegate with a decent gauge, so you know exactly what the boost is set to as well. Or, the first time you dial in some boost, it's a goner.- the list goes on...

Consequences of not knowing where the boost is set at on a 810 kitted Kwak 750 Turbo - first time out after new wastegate was fitted!

you can only run low boost on a fazer as not forged pistons

You would need to replace the pistons with flat tops. To really make it worthwhile, you don't want to go to all that trouble and then have to limit the boost too much. Hence a full engine strengthening program. Flat top pistons reduce static compression ratio. A turbocharger effectively increases it - a lot! Probably about 11psi boost to start, but people run higher.
The piston in the photo is a proper turbo engine one - not sure who by now, but may have been Cosworth.

To be honest, can't see the point of turboing a Fazer, the way the bike's set up it couldn't handle much more power, so on top of all the expensive work on the engine, ideally, you would be looking at a load more expense on correcting the handling and braking as well. Surely its much better to spend the money on buying a modern sports bike, if that is, you need to do more than 160mph in a straight line and go round corners!

It depends on what you want from biking. A well set up turbo engine is a joy to use. Loads of stonking mid range and top end, but very manageable, unlike some "conventionally" tuned engines. It's a real hoot to use, and could get you into to drag racing, which is great fun. People do these things because they can, not because they need to, and I think that's OK. And, it's different, as Michael points out. Well, that's why we do fancy paint jobs and other mods on our bikes (one reason, anyway). But it is a very expensive thing to do if you're going to do it properly, so you need to be sure it's what you really want. It's like saying, well why would anyone want a Ferrari.
