KITT-like turbine technology for homebuilders?

Hello all. As most of you are well aware, KITT incorporated turbine technology in his powertrain as a means of obtaining high power and efficiency levels in a small package. Some home builders actually make turbojets and turboshaft engines from old car and diesel turbochargers to power karts like this one:

I'm wondering if anyone here has seen or built one of these. Currently, I'm working on a design of my own which is quite different from anything else being built. Eventually, I want to use a similar design when I build KITT. The technology required to make a full-size, fully streetable car go from 0-60 in .2 seconds is amazing. I only hope I can achieve it before someone else does.
