For a 125bhp 1380, it will have to have high compression, high lift long duration camshaft profile etc.

All of this does not really lend itself well to turbocharging.

I'd leave your 1380 alone and do a 1293 from your 1275 turbo motor.

Mitsi Evo 7, 911, Cossie. & all the chavs ...... won no problem

yea go for the 1293 route you will be more than happy

but you could get 1380 pistons from avonbar & have these fitted and re config the internalls ie cam, head chamber etc

Cant comment on powermax pistons for turbo use myself but if you find they are ok and you can get the compression down without much hassle then i would use the 1380. It would avoid reboring the 1275 block and purchasing new pistons and you would end up with a slightly more torquey motor (for the same power). Only my opinion but if i was to build a fresh turbo lump i would definately get my spare 1275 block bored out to 1380.
