I think that is one thing we all anticipate here, and can all get behind. It could be the single most exciting trait about this engine if even some of the current rumors pan out.
wasn't an electric turbo (as part of a tri-turbo system) supposed to be a possible solution to the lag problem, or tangentially related, an electric motor complementing a FI engine?
