Wow, I stand corrected. Amazing what you can find on the internet! It would be interesting to see what that twin turbo Busa achieves though, apart from pure pose value. I've been to Straightliners and 200mph.net events at Woodbridge in Suffolk, and I ran my bike (ZX12R) and chatted with Frank, so I was showing you what a truly really fast Busa looks like. It was making around 500 bhp IIRC. None of the bikes there had two turbos sticking out the sides, as it would most likely completely the ruin aerodynamics of the bike, negating the power increase.
I only ran mine to find out what it feels like to ride a crazy bike absolutely flat out, achieving just over 190mph. The first couple of runs were absolutely terrifying!

I don't think you'll get two turbos on one, but this is Frank (aka The Flying Dutchman) doing over 250mph with a single large turbo, at Elvington I think ...
