·I know that Garrett is deveoping some sort of electric/assist for turbos. What i thought of is pretty much the same thing. Ok say you have a t88 setup on an mkiv. Find an elecric motor that is fast/yet powerful, that does about 20k rpms, then use some sort of gearbox to multiply rpm so when the motor /w gear box is spooling provides, enogh rpm to make 10-15 psi(could probibly be controlled by a transistor), have this gearbox/w motor mounted infront of the turbo. When you click a switch in cock pit The motor will spool the turbo via a shaft with a one-way bearing, so the electric motor spools desired psi on idle. All of the boost made at idle could be let off by a custom bov or waste gate, that is atomaticly closed on throttle. After the engine makes more boost then that of the spooler, the engine now takes over, and the spooler does not provide any resistance. When you let go off of the throttle the spooler keeps the turbo a t 10-15 psi. This will drasticlty improve acceleration, virtually no lag. What are your opinions? Thanks
I hope to develop this system, in about 1 year , will keep you posted.
