5th day of September, 1996, by and between PACIFIC BAJA LIGHT METALS CORP., a
Wyoming Corporation ("Pacific Baja"), TURBODYNE TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a British
Columbian corporation ("Turbodyne"), and MICHAEL JOYCE ("Mr. Joyce").

          POSITION:  President/CEO of Pacific Baja and its subsidiaries, Optima
Wheel, Inc. ("Optima"), Baja Pacific Light Metals, Inc. ("Baja Pacific") and
Baja Oriente S.A. de C.V. ("Oriente").

          Mr. Joyce will report directly to the Board of Pacific Baja.

          1.   COMPENSATION.  Pacific Baja agrees to pay Mr. Joyce during the
term of this agreement the following salary and bonus amounts:

               a.   BASE SALARY.  A base salary of $12,500 per month, payable
in accordance with the normal payroll schedule of Optima.

               b.   CASH BONUS.  Mr. Joyce will be entitled to an annual cash
bonus based on the consolidated net operating profit (before taxes) of Optima,
Baja Pacific and Oriente.  Accordingly, the net operating profit before taxes
for Optima, Baja Pacific and Oriente shall be consolidated in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles applied in the same manner as used
prior to the acquisition of Pacific Baja by Turbodyne.  No expenses shall be
considered in this calculation that are not direct expenses of Pacific Baja,
Baja Pacific, Optima or Oriente, and no Turbodyne overhead will be charged. 
Any contracts with Turbodyne or any Turbodyne affiliate will be at arm's length
rates for this calculation.  Such consolidated net profit shall be calculated
on a calendar year basis during the term of this agreement except that the
bonus for 1999 shall be calculated on the period January 1, 1999, through
August 31, 1999, if Mr. Joyce is employed by Pacific Baja or any of the
subsidiaries on August 31, 1999.  If Mr. Joyce is employed by Pacific Baja or
any of the subsidiaries as of the last day of the applicable calendar year then
he shall be entitled to a bonus equal to a percentage of his annual base salary
(i.e., $150,000.00).  Mr. Joyce's cash bonus shall be determined in accordance
with tile following schedule:

period preceding the option date. The options shall be in effect for the three-
year period subsequent to the execution of this Agreement.  It is understood

herein described. Turbodyne agrees to implement an Incentive Stock Option plan
within twelve (12) months from the date of execution of this Agreement to

encumbrances.

Executive Officer of Pacific Baja and Baja Pacific/Optima Wheel/Oriente
Companies.      This means that Mr. Joyce will have general responsibility for

decisions made by the board of directors of Pacific Baja or its parent,
Turbodyne. Mr. Joyce agrees to devote his full time and efforts to the
successful development of Pacific Baja's business and not to seek any outside
employment during the term of this agreement.

performed by Mr. Joyce pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, shall not be
liable to the Pacific Baja, Turbodyne, or any subsidiary, or to any third
party, for any acts or omissions in the performance of the services on the part
of Mr. Joyce, as long as said acts or omissions of Mr. Joyce are provided or

309(b).  The Corporation shall defend, indemnify (to the maximum extent
permitted by California law) and hold Mr. Joyce and his agents and successors
free and harmless from any and all obligations, costs, claims, judgments,
attorney's fees, attachments or any other liability arising from or growing out
