Well I have been building and tuning cars for the past seven years and I have gone thru a few turbo setups.

#1 on a high compression motor such as the R6 do not run crazy amounts of boost if you want the motor to be any sort of reliable.
also on an all aluminum motor the walls of the cylinders are often very thin, this also calls for very conservative tunning, too much pressure will sling a rod right thru the engine wall and where it ends up????

#2 if you plan on running large amounts of boost have the cylinder walls bored out and install a sleve of a higher strength material i.e. steel, titanium etc.

#3 the other option for lots of forced induction would be to lower the compression in the motor that you already have.

As for timing, in a car for about every 100 hp you take out about 2 degrees of timing but on a bike it has to be different so take your time and tune slowly in small incriments until you see the power the way you like it.
