On topic (for once...)

It seems very interesting technology and given the 'lack' of turbocharged BRZ's is this the technology that they need to make the turbo and its piping fit the car?

All i know is Subaru need to chop chop and turbo the BRZ for our enjoyment (and our wallet's demise...)

Just like an aero bar. All tease and full of holes.
Sounds more like positive pressure assist mode like some sort of weak sauce hybrid.
Logic would suggest using regenerative braking power and a few LiIon batteries to run it.
I wouldn't expect anything even close to a conventional turbo setup.

From what i have heard they should spool epically quickly being a brushless motor. Sound like awesome news to me!
