Commercial Japanese efforts used IHI TCs, I think. Drag bikes usually go to Terry Kizer for a Mr Turbo setup. Here's stuff about whether size is important (it is...) http://www.turbobricks.org/turboselection.html Dunno about using a few cylinders. I'd have thought it was better to use them all so that you got a more uniform breeze wafting through the turbo. And you'd also have probs balancing backpressures for the turboed and non-turboed cylinders, and two different exhaust notes, and I've been bluffing for several minutes now, so I'll stop. : Is it possible to run a turbo off of only a portion of the cylinders?
...and that was pretty tiny. Bikes used to run Garrets, which were too big, so that you had to be giving it beans to spin it up and so they only started to work when you were already too fast...
