The article says it is a conventional exhaust-powered turbo with a "small electric motor to power its turbine during the transition from idle to load".
interesting, less lag, bet it still takes high RPMs above 3000 to create boost.
give me a Keene Bell and a 2011 Mustang....... (2005 -2010 would be OK too)
