I would just drop the '07 stock donor in but the fact that I got the speed boost controller in the deal I hate to not use it. But I also don't feel comfortable with using it unless I'm sure the motor can handle it.
I am not a big fan of speed boost controllers.
Why not install the turbo on the stock motor w/o the speed boost while you build the new one.
I've been following the Track Day posts looked like a lot of fun Nice videos and pics as well

Because when I blow up the motor I'm gonna stay up all night putting the stock one back in so I only have to listen to "I told you so" for 1 day. Lol 
It was great!
Maybe we will have another date at FIRM during Biketoberfest that was also a lot of fun.
Summit was a completely different track had some very cool features but even after 5 sessions I didn't have it figured out
Also I know my driving habits ... trust me I need a wider safety margin than most 
I was at the FIRM last Biketoberfest but we got there late and left early. We had 2 Chihuahuas locked up in the RV in Daytona next time we will just pull up stakes and take the rig to the track so we can relax. I don't recall meeting you there sorry we missed each other.
It was a little overwhelming - so many people a lot meeting for the first time.
I will make it a point of meeting up with you this year. Not sure FIRM will happen.
I am actually going down to see Bill Hahn next week for a few days.

Kewl, last time I spoke with Bill he asked me if I would be interested in him building me a motor. I asked him for a ballpark figure and he said he would have a number in a week or so but he never got back with me. That's also about the time the taxman came calling so probably best I didn't hear back from him.
Not to mention when the GF found out how much this turbo project was going to cost I had to take her "Ring" shopping. I guess she's my Fiancee now ... Damn turbo's

He would be the man to build that motor - it is right in his wheelhouse
I will ask him again, I would be very comfortable with him doing the build.

Yes but remember after the wedding the turbo will still give you boost.
Congratulations
No doubt he's definitely over qualified i just don't know if I can afford him right now. He mentioned building a lower compression motor so it built up power just a little slower to get through the lower gears with less wheel spin. But that sounds like a new custom flash to me $$$ ? IDK

Thanks it was over due I guess third time is charm 
Third Time!
You really like living Threes Da Life!
Bill would do the tune as well.
I will let you know what he plans.
Gotta run have a great night
Talk soon

Yep U 2
JMHO, it may not be the speed boost that caused the engine failure as much as HOW it was being operated (by driver input) as well as the fact that there were no gauges from what I remember. When you don't know what the boost is or what the a/f is, you have no business running it that hard.

I totally agree @funinthesun I've heard the same thing about him boosting blindly. I also wonder when he saw the blue lights did he down shift rather than hit the brake (brake lights) like we all have a tendency to do in that situation.
I believe to have heard the Malibu motor has a stock 259 or so HP. With that, would there be a need for a Turbo? Only being inquesative.

The 2.0L engines have 260hp, but that is with the factory turbo on it. There is the V6 Malibu's that had around 252hp, but not quite a plug and play replacement for the 2.4L LE9 engine in the Slingshot.
