I was reading one of my back issues of Motor Trend today and there is an article about electic assisted turbos. They have a system for a 1.8l gasser that usses 2000 watts of power to spool up a little turbo. They also have a system that has an electric assist blower. In the article it says that a 42 volt electrical system is a MUST to even get the system to work with a larger engine. I dont think it could poddibly work with a large diesel. Just though I would throw that up here.
