Welcome to TC. That's an interesting idea! Sounds like lawn mower engine territory! I'm no expert but doubt if it would work.
Found this that might help the thought process.

Howdo.
Is a turbo diesel on a bike a good idea? Do you really want a massive sudden hit of torque to the back wheel of a bike? | |

Sounds like an awesome idea, however finding a turbo small enough might be a problem, how big is the engine?

Horse power doesn't give an indictation on how big the engine is, you need to know how big then engine is so you have some idea on how to size the turbocharger.
The smallest turbo I've seen on the market would be the Garrett GT12 | |
