That is literaly the Mother of all turbos - they were first developed for large industrial and marine diesels,then smaller diesels like trucks and earthmoving equipment got them......finally they dribbled down to petrol car engines.

Just put some wheels on it and tow it behind your bike. Better yet, push it in front, that way the intake will suck up trees, animals, small children, anything that gets in your way. Lag would be a bitch, but once it spins up you would wanna make sure you are strapped in.
