1. Turbocharger: A turbocharger is the main component of a turbocharging system. It compresses the air flowing into the engine, increasing the air density and therefore the amount of oxygen available for combustion. This results in a significant increase in power and torque.
2. Intercooler: An intercooler is a device used to cool the compressed air coming out of the turbocharger. This is important because hot air is less dense than cold air, and therefore a cooler charge will result in a greater increase in power.
3. Blow-off valve: A blow-off valve is a pressure relief device that prevents the turbocharger from over-boosting and damaging the engine. When the throttle is closed, the blow-off valve opens to release excess pressure from the turbocharger.
4. Wastegate: A wastegate is a device used to control the boost pressure by diverting excess exhaust gases away from the turbocharger. This is important because too much boost pressure can damage the engine.
5. Fuel injector upgrade: The factory fuel injectors on the Bandit 1200 are not capable of providing enough fuel for a turbocharged engine. Upgraded injectors are therefore necessary to ensure that the engine receives enough fuel to operate properly.
6. Exhaust manifold and downpipe: The stock exhaust manifold and downpipe on the Bandit 1200 are not designed for turbocharging. A new exhaust manifold and downpipe are therefore necessary to accommodate the turbocharger.
7. Oil lines: The turbocharger requires a constant supply of oil to lubricate its bearings. Oil lines are therefore necessary to connect the turbocharger to the engine's oil system.
8. Water lines: The turbocharger also requires a constant supply of water to cool its bearing assembly. Water lines are therefore necessary to connect the turbocharger to the engine's cooling system.
9. Various hardware: In addition to the major components listed above, various hardware such as bolts, nuts, clamps, and gaskets are also required to complete the turbocharger installation.
It is important to note that turbocharging a Suzuki Bandit 1200 is a complex and potentially dangerous undertaking. It is highly recommended that you consult with a qualified mechanic or performance shop before attempting to turbocharge your motorcycle.
