Maybe an IHI, or something off a twin turbo car like a Supra, or a 3000-GT. I dunno what size twin turbo Rx-7's are but you could try them too.
Is your bike carbed? Might wanna look into blow-thru carb setups if it is.

A turbo's usually only overspool if you run them without resistance to the compressor such as no chargepipes. As for overboosting, thats caused by a too small wastegate, not A/R's of the turbine.
If your planning on running a small turbo on a GSXR than your already planning on running the wrong turbo

i agree... wastegate controls boost settings. not size of turbo or how high you rev. big turbo, 38mm wg. and you'll be fine...

Re:turbo bike
basiclly your turbo sizing should be looked at like you have a 1.3L or so.. You only have .6L liters, but it spins twice has fast as most enigines.
My local turbo builder just bought a busa that he specificlly bought to turbocahrge. He's going to use two T-25 turbos from the twin turbo 300zx ( they support 400hp on the 300zx ).
I'm thinking a TD05H-14B would be in the middle. ONE T-25 would be small. And a T-3 would be big.
I'd go with a TD05H-14B, or T3 .42/.48.
I'm a turbo freak, but I'm not sure I'd want a turbo Gixxsa. When the boost comes on, its going to be insane, and I just can't see it being predictable while doing wheelies, high-chairs, and other "power needed" stunts.
You also need to concider the weight. Weight is everytihng to a bike ( almost ), if you plan on racing it..
I've riden 3 different 03' gsx-r600 s, an old ninja 600R, and a 02' gsxr1000 ( no freaken R6 or R1s !!! ). I gotta tell ya, its going to be hard to catch a 1000 !!! That's a scary bitch !! For stunts, I'd buy a gsxr750, for speed a gsxr1000 and both would have a 50shot...
I like pizza...................... and bikes.

ive heard of this but it falls into the retardmo class of why did you put that turbo on that engine
