The only bad things about a turbo is cost and it may increase NOx a little, but mostly at full power.

I'd suspect that if I made this thing as a constant power pusher trailer running at part throttle then using a specifically calibrated turbo to run boost at that part throttle/lower RPMs along with a good intercooler would possibly decrease NOx along with soot, CO and HC emissions.
I wonder how much it would cost to get a custom miller cycle camshaft...
I could use a turbo to do it too since all I need is something that puts out constant power at a constant throttle level within a narrow RPM range (55 to 65mph)
