looks like another electronic supercharger...just this time looks like they are calling it an electric TURBOCHARGER...

 

ohh.. nah it's not one of themz leafblower/supercharger thingies.. i read it in a magazine, its suppose to get rid of turbo lag, so during the low rpms before you turbo spools up it'll use the electric motor to turn the turbine so you have instant power, then when the turbine is being pushed by the exhaust gasses, i guess a relay clicks and then the electric motor turns into a generator. pretty cool, i definately want one.. i heard garett was the company to develope that technology.

 

1) Do they make it for the max? If not, why are we talking about it?

2) If it does fit the max... is it another $3K SC or like a $7K-$10K custom turbo or is this afoordable?

What this is is a device that link to a turbo charger to keep it spooled up at low rpm's so that you have less turbo lag. It's a small electric turbo charger for use with another larger, main, turbo.
