I think the Jet Turbine powered turbo is actually doable in a $2000 challenge budget.

How? Not doubtful, just no idea.
In reply to Dusterbd13-michael :
You only need a relatively small jet turbine, and could even build it into the exhaust side of the turbo if you got really creative. A homebrew version of Subaru's "rocket" antilag system from some of the older WRC cars comes to mind.

You can shaft drive your intake turbine off the same shaft, or use a second turbo and feed the jet exhaust right through that.
I will contribute money toward a fund to see someone do this for the challenge.
In reply to Dusterbd13-michael :
A propane tank and a home made pulse-jet seems like a perfectly safe, logical and especially quiet (sarcasm emoji) way to make this happen. 
The real question is why no one is running nitromethane?

Go big or stay at home. If ya can't run with the big dogs stay off the porch.
One first has to show up to have an opportunity to try to run with the big dogs at the challenge. Enjoy your porch.

Only because I haven't figured out how yet. Or where to get it.
