A turbo can be a reasonable solution if a burst of power is needed, but they sure should switch to premium gas to avoid compromising normal performance. For steady use, they are likely to overheat things and ruin longevity.
If you want freeway speeds on a scooter, use streamlining, not power.
Thanks! But all I really want is a way to make up for the lack of air at my altitude. So the overpowering issues probably wouldn't be a problem in such a case.
