Default Turbo Head: 883 or 1200 That Much Better?

Looking for a 883 or 1200 EFI to do a turbo project on and was wondering about the head.
*Equal sized valves are wanted.
Not sure about squish bands or ideal chamber shape.
*The pistons will eventually be deep dish thick top, so yes, the head's chamber should compliment the piston.
*Compression target is 8:1.
*2 plugs per cylinder.
*Welded up floors? Just threw this in on a whim. Probably a waste of money.
This is still in the planning stage, bike not purchased yet so there is wiggle room but a '07 883R EFI is the current favorite.
Ideas???

I'm currently working with someone on a 883 turbo kit for the street... I think the 883 is a great build project. Lower cost to buy, lots of fun to be had, and if you ever decide to go with more you can always upgrade to a 1250 conversion... I'm going to get with Dan and try the 883/1250 pistons in my bike to see if I like the lower compression...

Will report back on both projects
