Lot's of talk about "how" it could work, but what about "how long" will it last? There will obviously be a trade off for useful time and battery / capacitor size, but what do you consider "enough" before it putters out? One lap on an auto-X course? Several laps on a big boy track? Are we only looking for a boost at low RPMs or will this also keep the turbo spool'd in between shifts (mitsu did that right?) because that'll play into how long the juice lasts.
How long would to recharge it would you find acceptable? For instance my very mild hybrid CRZ takes quite a bit longer to recharge when you compare it to the useful battery. It's (lol, sadly) a better hybrid if you switch between normal and ECO modes instead of just leaving it in ECO (eats the battery charge quick).
