I think Audi’s electric supercharger works almost the same, right?
While some workship lag for being exciting and explosive, I hate turbo lag.
Why don’t they just use an electric compressor? In most cars, you don’t really need boost most of the time, so the compressor can switch off and let the engine act N/A while recharging the battery when braking. Then when you floor it, the compressor activates to give you the boost. Since there are no turbines after the engine, it doesn’t suffer from the sound problems that many turbo engines have.
This is actually really old EE P.S. Shameless plug, I have/had a vid on this topic a few months ago xD
Nice… If someone ever makes a car with an insane amount of lag, it should have Volvo’s anti lag system + an anti lag toggle switch 😂😂😂
This means something…
If Volvo had no chill: Lets fit ALL our new turboed cars with anti lag! So our customers can feel even more safe by letting off the gas and scaring off any baddies with a few gunshots.
Another insanely expensive part to change every 50’000km. :D

Still say its a really dumb idea
I’ll miss turbo lag…
