Hector are you the the guy I met in York Pa.?
$4000? I think you misread that! In volume they should be <$300/piece.
There is very little information on small turbochargers. I read somewhere that the RHF3 (I think the RHB31 is larger) powered a 650cc Daihatsu (diesel?) engine. 650cc @ 5000 rpm would generate the same airflow as a 250cc @ 13000. Of course, we'd still like to find something smaller, but under our budget constraints that's probably as small as it gets.
