The kind that come on 2g eclipses are pretty small 
But there are smaller. Ive seen a pic of an internally wg'd IHI (i think) completly sitting in the palm of someones hand.

Garret makes a t-12, but I'm sure theres some smaller Garrets also. Not to mention all the other manufacturers.

There's suppose to be (a rumor, coz I've never seen it) a radio controlled car 1/10 scale model, with a $6000 turbo engine in it....

IHI RHB3 off a turbo Sprint. Canucks and Hombres can look for Pontiac Fireflys, too.
Aeroquip has a line on some small ones, but they run dollars.

Man, gokart, I'm such an idiot. Is this literally a gokart?
Use an old Ford smog pump as a blower. Run pressure line to the fuel tank so the fuel still gravity feeds properly and keep drilling out your carb jet until the plug reads nice and rich. 8+ psi is entirely possible on a regular Briggs 5 hp.

That is the smallest turbo I have ever seen. It was out of an Audi A4 1.8 and it's been sitting in my basement ever since I pulled it.
