I don't know a thing about turbo-bikes so I was just curious as to the quality of these parts and whether they are matched up okay to make this thing run. It looks like it would run pretty good.

I think the Rayjay was the original turbo for that bike. But with it now being a 1200, it's probably a little on the small side, the hot side anyway. There are a ton of small turbos out there that might be a better replacement for it, aim is to get the exhaust back pressure down to keep the ex valves etc alive, plus it causes detonation, and then it isn't a motor anymore.

I went with stainless valves, heavy duty cylinder and crank studs on my turbo bike. I have heard there are head gasket sealing issues on big block motors. I'm sure its strong. Wonder how much boost the turbo is rated for.
