so i recently bought a 2000 suzuki bandit (motorcycle) and it has a 4 banger on it making it rediculously fast, but i am also looking to upgrade my turbo on my jetta 1.8t to the ko4 im just wondering what other people think about getting a custom manifold made and putting my stock ko3 on my motorcycle (possibly with an external wastegate to keep the boost pressure low like 2 to 3 psi) there is room for the turbo to fit with out melting my front tire. what do you guys think? good or bad idea?

check with the manu. you could melt the block, or throw a rod cause of too much boost. Just do your research first.

for sure im not looking to run a shit ton of boost because its already super fast just to have a bike with a turbo would be dope (even if i am running 1 psi)
