without a huge power source, this wont work. its been proven to work with enough power, but the weight of the vast number of batteries counter acts any improvement. these are just myth's to make money

Goes off to check refund terms and conditions on recently ordered regular turbo kit

 

send it all back and just buy an electric supercharger and ebay power chip.

 

Stick a bottle of octane booster in then call JamieP for a race.

A lot more advanced than the version the OP has linked to, but apparently BMW have patented an electric turbo that will reduce lag when coupled with a bigger turbo;

The new M3 was supposed to be a 3.3L Tri-turbo 450bhp engine with one of the turbos being electric but i don't think they had it finished in time :)
