Default Who makes the smallest turbo?

I want to turbo a Yamaha 185 motorcycle engine we put on a go-kart frame. Unfortunately, the smallest turbo I have found is a Garrett gt-12, which is still probably too big. I figure on straight methanol that motor should hold a few lbs of boost.

Anyone else have any ideas on a turbo that will flow about 45-50 HP at 25-30psi?

Oh well, I guess we'll just spray it. I can probably pound some lead into a jet and drill a small enough hole for a 25-30 wet shot.
