Turbo Lag

[werner at tij.wb.xerox.com]

What you are looking for is called an Anti-Lag System (ALS).  It is
used in many rally-race cars that compete in the WRC.  There are a
couple of different systems I have heard about, but the easiest to
implement requires only a modification to the ECU on the engine.

This system actually causes an intentional mis-fire by not firing one
of the cylinders.  The air/fuel mixture is still injected, and ends up
getting pumped out the exhaust.  When it hits the very hot turbine
blades in the turbo, it ignites and works like a jet motor.  

The system is currently used on several Rally cars in the US.  It is
supposed to keep the boost always running atleast 10-12 lbs.

The biggest draw backs to this are the noise and the flames that shoot
out the exhaust.  (I wonder how a Catalytic converter would react to
this.)
