Pacific Avatar 12A Turbo info?

I was wondering if anyone had some details about the Pacific Avatars or knew of some sites that had some. Most of the threads that searches bring up have dead links.

But I was wondering if the turbocharged 12A they offered used just a standard 12A block with a different carb or if they rebuilt the 12A using lower compression rotors or something?

Are you black? I know of more black Hopkins' than white ones.


Thanks for the answer directfreak. A friend of mine just got a PA that came with a turbo 12A so I'm going to give him my FB. Thing has a rebuilt 12A with 6K miles and its just gathering dust in my girlfriends driveway.
