i was going through ebay afew months ago and i came across a electric turbocharger !!! LMAO! ummm this is my 1st time of hearing of anything like this i should have posted it up earlier but i forgot.. anyway i just wanted to know if anyone else has seen or heard of a electric turbocharger because the word "electric" just cracks me up. well i guess if the petrol prices are going to rise we will need to run solar energy , equiped with electronic turbos.. hahah LOL gee i'd love to see it do a burnout

well if the apparent turbo was designed to run off electricity instead of waste product it would be an awesome idea. you could have a free flowing exhaust not taking away from the engines energy by forcing exhaust gas through bends etc. all it would mean is that the battery would be getting a **** load of power pulled out of it to the extent bad things would happen. also this elctric turbo would need to be variable speed so it can adjust rate of rotation according to revs. meaning it would need its own management to run correctly. i personally reckon its a good idea, it just needs more work.

wel in my opinion it would work more like a supercharger, for the reason that it wouldnt have any lag and would probably have more boost at low revs as it doesnt rely on the airflow and all that. for a simple home made electric charger just plumb ur aircon to your intake, and there u hav it, equipped with boost controller with 4 boost levels, on, 2, 3 ,and 4 being the highest, it also comes with a new thing to replace auto choke where it blows hot air in until the engine warms up, wow , the features!
