Vehicle Boost

Turbos have come a long way.

I've already gone over using an turbine apu at 40psi and the weight and space penalty.

Lag isn't what it once was and it's easily either harnessed to your advantage or easily overcome with compounding.

Our mile racer will go 300mph in the mile and has no trouble idling through the drive-thru at mcdonalds on the way home from KSC.

Twin scroll turbos also help to eliminate lag, when matched to the correct engine size.

  I'll match your twin scroll turbo with this!

    I always wondered why no one put an electric motor on a turbo to "spin it up" until there was enough exhaust pressure,and know I see someone actually did that!

I think that is what the new f1 powertrains are. Some cool hybrid technology they are using.

Rockwell developed something along the same lines. A turboencabulator.
