There are motorcycle specific supercharger set ups. Also, many turbo kit suppliers will supply carbs specifically designed for those kits. You wouldn't usually be using standard carbs and airbox from what I've seen.
You'd also need to think about the size of turbocharger. As far as I'm aware, car turbos tend to have a greater capacity than the ones most commonly used on bikes, I guess cos they're generally feeding larger capacity engines. But firms out there who supply and fit such systems (eg TTS), can advise and supply everything you'd need, fit it all too, but.......you've guessed it: £££££££££££££!!
If you don't do the necessary engine strengthening, you'll blow more than just a head gasket! Picture holed pistons, thrown rods and yer valves in a nasty tangle.... :eek
