Source for really small turbos?

Hey,

Anyone got any ideas for a small turbo used for karts/ 5hp motors? I seen a turbo go-ped out run a transam once that had a turbo.

I want to tool around with my track bike (little honda 70cc i use for the pits)

Acually the go-ped that smoked the "98 Snake Eater" was using a specially built racing motor, alot of nitrous, and a driver with amazingly huge *****. I would be scared to death to go that fast on one of those things!

me and my friend were thinking of doing a single or twin turbo set up on a moped he had but the guy he sold it to stripped it down and didnt do anything with the bike and then junked it. we're thinkin a single with a intercooler from like a mazda malliena (spelling on that) from a 200 or new model (yes they have a intercooler but no turbo, i saw one yesturday at work as i changed its oil) and it would be a perfect size for one.

funny how i was too thinking of how fun a turbo go-cart would be. but figured i would blow it apart if i really let the boost go up. the exhaust routing and pipes would be kinda funky, and would you need a BoV? it would be fun, but doubt if the boost would ever have time to spool up the engine, i mean what is the smallest turbo out there? and how easy would it be to find? maybe now those ebay scam artist have somthing to really make money on. Turbo Charged Go Kart, that'll get some money real quick like.

This one??

Even though this is a cool subject what does it have to do with thirdgens??

and you could probably get a small turbo off of a sprint GTi (I think thats the model name) they have small turbos in them

WTF? An intercooler but no turbo? Makes no sense as an intercooler just tries to get the compressed air back to the ambient air temp outside.

Maybe an oil cooler?
