Has anyone ever added a turbo to a small v-twin engine?

I want to use a briggs 23hp. twin for a small offroad car,but would like to add some hp(20-25 hp) and keep it reliable.What better way than a turbo right.Plus it would sound cool.

I thought i saw a post about someone using a turbo from a small turbo-diesel truck ,but i cant find it.

Fabbing the exhaust and intake stuff is no problem but the jetting and timing would lose me.Can the carb even handle it?

Anyway please post your thoughts.
