Electrical Supercharger / Turbo Anti-lag

[Geoff Watts]

How about an electronic anti-lag?

Compressor, get about 15psi happening, and a little tank, big solenoid, release it into the exhaust manifold.  Would that work?

How does the anti-lag work on the Mitsubishi EVO4's?

     In the interest of efficiency though, the turbo is still the way to go 
     since kinetic/thermal energy in the exhaust is essentially free 
     anyway. Perhaps the problem of lag in turbos may be solved by 
     producing a turbo that has an electrical propulsion when not enough 
     exhaust gases are being produced. This would be efficient, as at low 
     revs the engine does not consume as much gas, so the electrical 
     propulsion could be relatively low power, but at higher revs when 
     higher intake flows are required, the exhaust propulsion will be up to 
     the task.
