Default Newbie F4i owner in FL

Hi everyone!
Well I'm kind of new to bikes, I rode my buddy's bikes for a few years but this would be my first bike I've owned. I was really into tuning efi cars mostly DSMs & Hondas but that got old since making 600whp+ and barely keeping up with bikes got old. If it has pistons I can most likely fix it but getting to know the in and outs of my bike will require some you guys help. It's a 2002 CBR600F4i with 27,000 miles has some mods and etc.... got it for $2,900 needs some lovin indeed. When I bought it last week the tires were done and major chicken strips lol so I ordered some Diablo Corsa III since I was told by my buddies they're good tires. What inspections should I do since it has 27,000 miles?
Enough said here's pictures of my bike.

Welcome to the forum, man.
Looks pretty dam good.

I would think that if it's running good, I wouldn't mess with it too much.
I'd probably just check the normal stuff like brakes, chain, sprockets, fluids, etc.

So I was poking around and the thought of turbo charging looks good. A nice turbo manifold and some piping and a small side mount intercooler from a dsm should work. I assume this thing uses a map sensor not a maf. Can a power commander read boost? What ems does boosted bikes use?
