I'm surprised nobody brought up the VATN turbos, if money is no object, you may want to check out this possibility.

I did reserch on VATN turbos and got weird content, from it it seemed that it is a brand of "aerochargers", like Aerodyne is, or so is my understanding....
I am lost. I guess this all started with pengarus post above and these sites as a resolt of my searchings:
http://www.aerocharger.com/tech1.htm
and this:

http://www.aerocharger.com/vatn1.htm
http://www.aerocharger.com/compressor.htm
http://www.aerocharger.com/bearings.htm

what do you guys think?

Variable Area Turbine Nozzles
• Improved steady-state and transient performance.
• Lower exhaust engine back-pressure—particularly at higher engine speeds—for improved performance and fuel economy.
• Advantageous for E.G.R. operation. P3 - P2 can be increased by closing the turbine vanes.
Air-cooled Ball Bearings
• Ultra low friction for rapid turbine acceleration and improved efficiency.
• Simplified system design and lower component costs. No water cooling system required for the bearing housing.
• Emissions friendly. Aerocharger’s air-cooled ball-bearings don’t require pressure lubrication. No oil pressure in the bearing cavity means less chance of particulate emissions from oil finding its way into the exhaust.
Self-contained Lubrication System
• No need for external lubrication lines. Simplified installations.
• No cross-contamination with engine oil.
• Practical for applications with limited, difficult to access, or even nonexistant oil sumps—e.g. motorcycles or two-cycle snowmobile engines.
Highly Versatile
• Virtually no restrictions on turbo orientation—even vertical installations are possible with an AEROCHARGER®.
• Self-contained lubrication system means that AEROCHARGER® location is not dependent an engine's oil sump type or location.
• The compressor housing is designed to accomodate different compressor inlet connections and oil storage capacities.
• Air flow and boost characteristics can be precisely tailored to specific applications and requirements.
Reliable
• Design life: 5000 hours.
• Tested on diesel and gasoline engines.
• Individual units field-tested to more than 105,000 miles (170,000 km).
• 1000 hour endurance tests.
• Designed and produced in the USA.
