sounds like you need more oil pressure, so im thinking your best bet will be to buy a new oil pump that can get the pressure you need.

OK just makin sure ;D That didn't make sense to me lol

The problem is every space under the seat is taken up, I had to trim plastic off just to fit my seat.

And it's not picture here, but infront of the motor inbetween the a-arms is a 5lb nitrous bottle and some brackets with solenoids...... I really have no room left.

So I'm guessing no factory cars came with a small ball bearing turbo?

Nice bike. Yeah the Mazdaspeed Protege came with a ball bearing turbo IIRC, but they were prone to failure. I like JD's idea. Find a way to get some extra oil pressure and then you can run a journal bearing turbo that will allow you a much better variety to choose from and cost you less. Take your Naaawwwzzz off and use it for an oil pump or something. You can make it ------- fit.

Or you can just run a Holset! They like low oil pressure (not 8psi though lol). I have a perfect HX-35 I'll sell you. It'll spool at like 30,000 rpm yo!

I have a couple small turbos. IDK if I want a 2860r, but I could probably hook you up cheap. PM me if you want.
