Couple of ideas:

Instead of a capacitor which wont hold more than a second or so of charge, how about keeping a Ni-cad charged up and working up a power switching circuit to cut it in/out as needed to help provide the turbo spin-up surge.

Electric turbo advantage: Less exposure to exhaust heat means cooler intake air temps and less need for an intercooler to minimize this loss.
