Looking good.
That MSI box is a lot larger than I thought they were from reading on MSI site. Of course I neglected to read the dimensions
I would also like to know what you are using for a fuel pump.
I plan to put MSI on the 87 police motor along with Eaton M45 mechanical blower but am still in the parts gathering phase. If anyone has an MSI kit or M45 kicking around...hint...
Also, looking for suggestions re: a CVT that might be squeezed into a home made crank case.

I am not familiar with your acronym "CVT" so if you can expound on this I might be able to help..
The blower would be cool but the blower carries a few more problems than a turbocharger.
Number one is it takes HP to make HP with a blower as you are pulling HP off the crank to turn the blower.. With the turbo you are using expended exhaust gasses that are free..
Number Two is the efficency of a blower is rated at 50% and a turbocharger at 70% which simple means that the compressor on the blower will pump in hotter compressed air than the turbo which decreases the air density.. You "need to run" an intercooler on the blower to bring the charge temp down and you can get by without an intercooler on the turbo although it will help bring up it's efficiency also..
A plus for the blower is "instant boost!!"
I also have all the goodies for turboing my 80KZ1000E2!!

There are various venders for the MS but the most reputable and reliable dealer I have found for completed MSs is
www.rs-autosport.com/
I am no way affilated with MS or RS Autosports!! I am just and average Joe in the quest for HP..
