Suggests that automotive electrical systems are not powerful enough to produce positive boost pressure.....and yes you can fit a prius motor and 3 phase electrical system to drive a compressor, but really? an extra 100kg's to reduce lag by a few tenths?

That was from the low voltage system. The high voltage systems are able to make more power to the MGU. Just look at F1 next year...
To me it makes sense to have a MGU on a turbo, to you it don't. No problem
We'll just have to wait and see what the future brings
