I can't fault your logic but centrifugal compressors don't take 50bhp to turn

if you take a look at the audi device on the link I posted a while back you'll see its a direct drive
and yes with where electric motors are at present I think these will only ever be a low boost / low end torque booster device

however on a low torque engine like FA20 / 13B renesis then this is exactly whats needed - providing the price point is right
