so ive been doing alot of searching and found some pics of the airbox people are using. i am going to fab up a airbox out of cardboard and then trace it on a sheet of aluminum. then ill cut it and tig it up. now i just need to strip the fairings of my bike and find some sort of oil supply. i would think a bike has a oil sending unit. i found a post with some else with a gsxr 750 and for fuel he modded his tank up and used a fmu. it was cheap but not the way i really want to go. i need to find out if a power comander will work or if i need a standalone ems. i will keep you guys posted on my project and get some pics of my progress as i start.

I made my own manifold (exhaust) with the stock headers and the intake I made a copy of the stock with metal. For fuel I am running a upgraded fuel pump and a powercommander with a muilt-hub that has a boost sensor and had my friend dyno and make a map adding fuel when it goes on boost, for timming depending on how much boost you want to run you can run the powercommander ignition module they are all plug in, no cutting wires, you can find them cheap on ebay. My fuel pump was $75 at a local shop, I removed my stock one and took the bracket there to find a pump that fits, you can also fun a mfu but I like the powercommander and pump combo better, I have no problems with the setup and I ride at least 2 times a week. With the stock motor and compression I am making 241 at 6.5psi with a good tune.
