All things considered, I think the TD02 is the one we'll end up using, but I also think it's waaaaay too soon to pull the trigger on a turbo.
The RHB31/VZ21 (you had already suggested this one) should have similar characteristics (frequently the choice for people turbocharging their scooters, etc., see below) and is $350.00 (
link), but probably a good deal less if ordered from China.
The question is unanswered, whether these turbos might actually be too small. According to the compressor map in this thread
http://www.scooterinvasion.net/forum...?p=21808#21808, it appears that we can expect 10 psi to be the maximum sustainable pressure, which means that might not need/want intercooling, which should be cheaper and require less R&D.
I'm glad that I'm not trying to get a turbo working on a 2T engine and don't have to think about CADing parts so I can have a shop in OH make them according to my design and send me the parts in the mail.
The approach we're taking has much more character (read: it will work and it will be ugly).

At what price would you be willing to sell it? In what condition is it?
