    I'd suggest going used. No reason paying full retail for a project such as this. Should be pretty cool if you get it going though. Good luck.

    Go to a wrecking yard and pull one out of an old car. My buddy has a turbo 69 beetle, he got the turbo from an old Chrysler Le Baron.

    ^^ i was considering that, but I doubt ill find a turbo small enough at a junkyard.. im not sure if the exhaust from a go kart engine can even spin the turbine enough to produce actual boost hahah

    funny you should mention... I was just looking into like 50, 100, and 150cc scooters today and they sell tiny little baby turbos for them
