no..quite serious...eletric turbo. read the article
However not so quick to stand corrected...
From the article
A lot of these lost souls are out there and for those unfortunates who lust for boost, there's light at the end of the tunnel--the Thomas Knight Turbo electric supercharger . Designed as a universal supercharger , there are no ungodly pulley configurations or whacked-out axle drives to deal with. In fact, Thomas Knight Turbo (TKT) likens the installation to that of a high-flow intake. TKT says that for most FWD cars, relocating the battery to the trunk and swapping out the air filter opens up enough room to install the unit.
Usually "supercharging" is a term. A turbo is a means of doing so. Most referred superchargers use belt drive...and a turbo always uses the exhaust...
I would still have to say it is much closer to the superchargers that we all call superchargers. (Although that could be debated...maybe we should think of a new term for them???)
Anyway...it isn't new, and we have still talked about it...along with twin turbos, turbos from the y area, STS remote mount turbos, ADC/Street Flight turbos, Warmonger's turbo, Stilov's turbo, Swazo's turbo, Blackwidow's Turbo, front mount intercooled turbos, Co2 and Nitrous powered "turbos" and hydraulic powered turbos.
It's all there. In fact I would say, you'd be hard pressed to come up with another idea. All the power to ya if you can though.
