The smallest turbo I can think of would be the 3cyl 1L metro turbo. Since I'm running the engine at 100% perhaps I could get away with a turbo designed to provide boost at 1/2 power on an engine twice the size. I'm probably only looking for 4-6 psi.
The first thing I though of was the "Kei Cars" from Japan -- essentially ~660cc mini cars.

Some were produced with turbos (running around 6 psi max boost) -- which is where I might start looking...
