This is obviously not for the anti-electric turbo people, but if you do want an electric turbo or are not sure what to think about it. Check out these websites. Sounds like these turbos really work, but I dont know about the durability. Sorry if these websites have been posted already.

i too will believe it when i see it and not just a dyno, but actual drivability tests
as far as i know, there is only one type of electronic SC(unless it is powered by exhaust gas, it is an SC) and it is a real roots type SC with the pulley assembly replaced with 3 motors that run off of their own batteries you need to have in the car and lasts for 15 seconds making as high as 25psi depending on the engine size and rpm. that kit costs $3k, my real turbo stuff has only cost me $3500 to date(got some nice stuff for xmas) -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition
