I'm looking for a turbo that flows enough for maybe 100hp max that i might, someday, put on my Honda XL600R dual sport bike. It could use a rebuild, and if you rebuild a motor you just have to do a custom turbo while your at it right?

What kind of turbos are there in the small, motorcycle style size? I know this is a poor forum choice for a post like this but hey you guys are smart and i like NICO.

I'm wanting to say I saw a Yamaha Banshee on ebay set up for sand drag running a Garrett T3, that might be a bit much though....

T3 eh....i better add a nitrous spooling system as well.

I'd only do it if i could find a little, cheap turbo to work with. Simple, cheap, decent power upgrade from its 40-50 stock ponies.

There's a turbo mazda used on their 1.8 liter (GTX model?) that is smaller than a T25, I've seen it in person and it's SMALL.

I think the turbo used on the mazda was also used on all the Ford turbo cars, a small Mitsi turbo might work too though. Both should be easy find.
