@Racer x

According to the 1st post our optimization problem has the following constraints: minimize cost @33kw or maximize power @$1000. I thought it was implied that stock parts cannot be sold, and the approach should be appropriate for a very determined hobbyist/amateur.

Accordingly, it cannot be done if someone can prove that getting 33kw must cost more than $1000. For example, if the cheapest turbocharger in volume were $999.99, and we know we also need to buy a piece of chewing gum for 2c to attach it to our bike, then 'it cannot be done' is correct.

So far I'm getting the impression that you're content with successfully proving that the highest end system possible will cost more than $1000, or using the turbo efficiently is more than $1000, or something to that effect, which I have no doubt is absolutely correct and true and provably so!
