valeo turbos

Seems to be a big hype with valeo and there electric turbos and is said that audi along with a few others are jumping on the band wagon and will be using them in there cars in the not so distant future .... they have been testing them and have had good results with minimal lag from idle and spins upto 70k+ in under a second ...anybody else seen or heard of these ????

I never heard of them, but going to look them up, sounds interesting.

For those who don't Google or on phones

Quite interesting to say the least although I don't like the idea of more electrics under the bonnet.

Id like to see how its set up in the bay ....

Mmm french & electrics :-/
Valeo can't even make a decent indicator stalk so will wait for some smarter people work on the concept.

48volts to run it!
