Default matching turbo to an engine

I saw some time back you guys had a motorcycle with a turbo on the home page. I was wondering some of the factors for match a turbo to an engine either car or motorcycle. Any specific factors or is just about how much money you are willing to pay? Any good info would be helpful.

Yes you can have quite a few turbo models that work on your motorcycle. At different prices.
but for correct sizing of the turbocharger, it's important to know the Flow (HP) that your engine makes NA and your desired HP with boost. power gains normally range from 50% to 100% from stock but regardless of you goals, there's a properly sized turbo to do it.

if you submit in here the details of your engine, your main use of it, your atmospheric HP and desired HP once boosted on that motorcycle, I am sure lots of people will jump in to help. at least I will.
