Tell when the turbo is on, please.

First 2nd gear pull is up. Pardon my poor shifting and awkward camera placement, my mount broke.

7 more coming.

[unijabnx2000]

from the 1-4th gear video you made and another video I found;
your 60 -120 was under 6 seconds. Stock was over 26 seconds.

Another 0-60.... i really abused this thing, accel up to 140 or so, slow down and do it again. Keeps pulling hard.

Does this really weigh less than 30 lbs. given the fact that the stock battery alone weighs close to 30 lbs. ?

One should bear in mind that this system consumes approx. 10 times more power than the alternator delivers, so it wouldn't really be practical on a track unless the size of the alternator is significantly increased.

And again one can clearly see the merits as a bolt-on, but we haven't seen this on commercial cars (even though this concept has been around for over 10 years: http://wardsauto.com/news-amp-analys...c-supercharger) because a downsized engine with a turbocharger (e.g. Ford EcoBoost 1.0l) weighs less and is cheaper than a larger engine, with larger batteries, larger alternator and electric supercharger (and same power).
