I was reading up on the new Koenigsegg Jesko mega car and found it quite interesting that the car has a 20lb air tank with electric compressor that injects into the turbos to eliminate turbo lag completely.
"The air injection system comprises a small electric compressor driving air from a 20-litre carbon fibre tank connected directly to the two large turbochargers.
Traditional turbochargers are often burdened with turbo lag – the gap where exhaust driven gases are insufficient to transfer boost via the compressor wheel to the intake side. Bigger turbos mean even more lag, which is why many companies opt for twin-turbo systems with a small, fast-spooling turbo providing quick response before a larger turbo engages to provide maximum boost."
The Koenigsegg air injection system uses a timed, 20-bar burst of air strategically aimed within the patent-pending turbo housing in order to pre-spool the two large turbos. This process eliminates turbo lag and surge. This unique solution provides instant response with massive boost prior to the exhaust gases taking over to power the turbos.

Wouldn't it be awesome to DD a Duramax on the street with a s485 with no lag?
