For those of you who remember the film "Mad Max" and his ability to power up his supercharger on demand, seems it could happen soon with the introduction of an electric-powered turbo.

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)
