There was a company down Tucson way a few years ago playing with top fuel supercharged and turbocharged engines (combination). One of the ways they eliminated turbo lag was by injecting Nitrous directly onto the cold side spinning blades to get it/keep it up to speed. They said lag was virtually eliminated. Of course this required additional fuel, but the results were awesome! ********************************AUDI FAN****************************** EMCM(SW) Dave Head 87 5KCSTQ 170K miles and counting... 1.8 bar boost - @ 1.3 the shuttle launches Maitland FL **********************************************************************
