I think thermoelectrics are a better route to pursue than a turbine driven generator, except, like batteries, the efficiency isn't there yet. Some day we'll see an oem setup using regenerative braking, exhaust energy recapture. full time boost available, but that kind of integration would be beyond an aftermarket kit. We could definitely integrate motor control into the ecu programming now, but are still limited by storage and recharging. Rob has hit the nail on the head with the goals and limitations of this system. I almost want to keep my brz just to play with the ESC, or even buy one to adapt to my truck.
As far as eliminating turbo tubing...higher boost will still need intercooling and the tubing that comes with that. Maybe what you want is a setup similar to the fa20dit, very minimal tubing.
