a 2stroke motor has a very high cr

Turbocharging a 2 stroke doesn´t destroy all exhaust resonances, you have to place
the turbo after the expansion chamber. And match the turbine and housing
carefully against the resonances in the pipe.
Turbocharging a 4 stroke is nothing compared to doing it on a 2 stroke,
at least if you want it to be somewhat drivable.

Mine had 8.5:1 stock. Not sure what it has with the head/dome I have on it. I have a few different ones to either lower it or raise it.

heres some turbos off harley's, i think theyed work great problem is there prolly not to east to find. They did make a sprint turbo. Its probably one of the smallest turbos ive seen and would be perfect for something like a 4wheeler or dirtbike.

how do you plan on turbocharging a 2 stroke. i work on 2 strokes all day... the exaust port on the cylender walls is above the intake port. if you sent presureized air in there most of it would be lost out the exaust port. it would also probebly blow out allot of the exaust gas and make the combustion chamber extreamly hot since theres way more oxygen. because it would be blown out by the compressed air. you would probebly end up fouling plugs like crazy. and how would the fuel injectors work? you could use them like how itb's have fuel injectors right up next to the port but seems like the turbo would blow out allot of fuel out the exaust port. 2 strokes are real picky
