Turbo recomendations for a bike engine?

Who has turbo'd a bike engine and what turbo did u use? I was going to use a garrett t25 but from research it looks like it will be the wrong type. What have others used?


Im using a Kawasaki zx10 engine and want to run around 6-7psi Was thinking maybe a garrett t2.

Off topic but thats one tasty looking IMP you have there! I have always fancied a BEC IMP or Stilletto! Whats the spec and what do you use it for?

Mine is for a a Volvo T5-R I don't think a TD04-16T is available for the Impreza.

This is the one i used http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320122992942

All the info is on the tag on the compressor housing on the Mitsubishi turbo.

The one on the Impreza is a 13T. Still ok to use but will top out at around 230 - 240bhp, whereas the 16T is capable of quite a bit more...
