Which would technically be doable, but would probably result in twitter going into meltdown.

I think that the aim is to do as good a job as a VGT, but without a VGT. This is why the turbo will be spun up by use of an electric motor/generator, rather than varying the vanes in the turbo. It's more controllable than a VGT as well as providing a source for power generation.

So is that like an electronic Anti-Lag?
