    Does anyone know of any small turbos? do all turbos need external oil? Are there any self contained setups like alot of the new superchargers? I am looking for a turbo that could be used on a straight 4 cyl motorcycle. Just wondering if any of you turbo guys would know of something i could use.

    thanks for any info

    You need oil for lubrication. Those things can spin at 100,000+rpm, it's kinda important. Besides, just get some trick braided lines and do it up nice

    check on the "areodyne" turbos. they have a self contained oil "wick" that only needs refilling every few thousand miles... they ain't real cheap though!
