All I know is back in the 50s they sold turbo kits for N/A tractors, now back then most tractors had all forged steel parts inside of them and the turbo kits still managed to blow tractor engines all over the place. So that makes me question how a little lawn mower engine with softer metal parts can handle very much boost.
