With out a transmission to give you 3-1 or 4-1 ratio you will never build any boost. At 5000engine rpm with no gear ratio you would never build 1psi. The other thing is the turbo does not have bearings and if it does it cost more than a supercharger. No bearings because a turbo has no side load. You can find cheap used superchargers for $600-$800. The other thing would be a mount to align the turbo to the crank even if what you wanted was possible. If you want cheap power at a budget go with Nitrous and no more than you would use it you would not fill the bottle that often anyways.
