I would enjoy hearing the turbo whine as I wick the throttle.

personally i aint having trouble shredding the little engines, shearing rods, and cracking pistons with just the right tune up on the variator and carb pushing 65 mph....a turbo in our weak rotating assembly...pass. if your bored i got a  percent complete vog 260 engine you can put in whatever if you want 19 horsepower |

Personally there would have to be an oil pump, crank, rod, head and cylinder stud upgrade along with additional cooling for any serious turbo boost done on a GY6 as a daily ride. If just a project to run a few races between engine changes that would be another matter but not for a reliable ride. Just not enough substance and engine cooling to bleed off the heat on an air cooled GY6.

Yes.You would need a pump to feed oil up hill to the turbo and add a cooler to reduce the temp before entering the crank case.
In the hot rod community, they always say the cheapest way to add power is with a bigger engine. I agree with them, but it is not always possible to add more displacement.
-chromestarhuslter - Ford Motor Co seems to agree with you. The next KR500 Mustang will not have a supercharger, like the past few years. It will be a 5 liter, normally aspirated engine, that will rev around 7500 rpm. I'm guessing it will have variable valve timing, like the high revving Honda/Acura engines.

Yep, you would definitely need an intercooler, something I've toyed with the idea of trying during hot Vegas summers. I just don't think it would help enough to offset it's negatives.

Yes it could be done but its more than just bolting on a blower and hoping for the best. To get it to equal the reliability and performance of a well balanced water cooled 250 would cost more than just starting with a well balanced water cooled 250.
If you are a member of the "More Money than Brains Club" as Jay Leno likes to put it with himself as the unofficial chairman of the club then that's another matter and you can have some great fun however most went with the GY6 for the economy of it all.

While the arguments hold true for most scoots,
I'd be interested to see what it does to a 50cc scoot?
No issues with heat and stuff, if it can make my scoot go from 42mph to 52 or 57mph, then it's successful.

The electronic engine controls make modern turbo engines in autos adjustable. Aftermarket turbo control kits allow you to switch between economy and performance modes from the cockpit (by raising and lowering the boost.)
-Imagine a similar, adjustable boost scooter. You could dial down the boost for economical commuting, and dial up the boost when you need to ride the freeway or you want to keep up with some motorcycles.
