Default marauder 800 carb

Hi there everyone im new to the forums..so be nice

i have a marauder 800 and i love it. its restricted atm as im 18 and only passed my full test a couple of months back, but im already looking at improving the performance once the restrictor is finally removed.

i discovered today that the marauder cannot be fitted with a functioning hypercharger because of the dual carbs. which is a real downer but reading i find that the marauder engine is the same as the intruder and the volusia (which can be hypercharged because it has a single carb).

so my question is- because the engines are the same would it be possible to fit a volusias single carb onto a marauder and so allow a hypercharger to be fitted? if its a no please could i have an explaination why as im trying to learn about the internals of my bike.

also whether i can or cannot do the above what other performance parts can i add and what can i expect to gain from it

thanks for your time guys
