Idea to eliminate turbo lag..., ...or am I crazy. Options

[CheesyLobster]

So I just though of this idea that could eliminate turbo lag completely, and I was wondering if it’s ever been tried or anything.

My idea is that the turbo and piping for the turbo would be normal, except just before the throttle body, there could be a split pipe. Attached to this pipe would be sort of a short ram air intake, except there would be a high quality one-way valve in between the filter and throttle body. This way, before the turbo has spooled, the engine would get air from the short ram intake, and be like an N/A car. But once the turbo is going, the pressure in the intake pipes would over power the short ram, and close the one-way valve, thus utilizing the turbo piping setup.

Kind of confusing, hopefully this crappy pic I drew in paint can help. I drew in with a 7afe.

So what do ya guys think? Seems like it could work if the 1 way valve is good enough.

i dont think the engine has much trouble running NA just through the turbo even if the turbo wasnt spinning at all... I think the main scene behind turbo lag is that when the boost is needed for the extra HP and kick, it takes a while to spool up when acceleration from first is hard and boost is wanted. Its not about allowing the engine to get air to run but all about getting the boost to accelerate quickly without waiting for spool up because in that method u still end up waiting for the boost to kick in as the engine is still just running from atmoshperic pressure air that it could get from the turbo line anyway even if boost isnt being made.

I also think that you either stayed up too late thinking this or woke up too early... 5:02am man.... whahhhhh

I thought that there is a vacum (neg. pressure) in the intake when you have a turbo car before the thing can spool?
