Garrett has also developed an electrically assisted turbocharger that doesn't rely solely on exhaust gas flow energy.

Re: Electrically assisted turbo (Hippiehead025)
yeah but they only produce like .5-2 lbs of boost or sumthin like tht, they are all over ebay now....
This is not that. That turbo is boosted by the exhaust gas, but it starts spooling electroically to eleiminate the lag associated with low rpms. Instead of waiting for more exhaust gas from high rpms, this will start spinning itself. Seems like a good Although, stuff is gettin mighty involved.
