I wonder if you could make a two turbo (small lead in) and a larger, primary spool set up work. Some OHV use this to prevent lag.

I'd assume all the serious guys would have tried this before, so I'm just thinking out loud.

Really intrigued about this since it's "free" power, but I guess nothing is really free.
Tim if i was doing this type of system i would use compressed air to get the turbo spinning then the free power would become a reality. This way near instant boost would also be achieved plenty of new found power however fuel economy would probably suffer a bit.
