Adding a turbo adds a lot of heat; suffice it to say, there's a reason that there are very few production turbocharged air-cooled motors.
The 190cc is an attractive option, but 'expensive' (expensive being relative); there are smaller engines, such as the 140cc option. I do believe that most of the larger crate engines are not electric start, but don't quote me.
