I remember that setup.
I never saw anything about it running, so I think its just built for a concept. I'm sure that there can be a debate on whether it will work efficiently or not, but still.....seems to be a neat idea.

If I remember correctly, a UK based company called Owens Development was responsible for the build.

I really don't understand why there would be no turbo lag. It seems like there would still be turbo lag, and because the turbos are now on an individual cylinder I don't see how they would be able to build smooth boost. Of the 4 strokes of the piston it only spins the turbo once, and when it is forcing air into the cylinder(intake) the turbo is free spinning, I wonder how well this would work at all.

It seems like it would be better to utilize the exhaust cycle from one cylinder, to spin the turbo, and force air into another cyllinder that's on it's intake cycle. It would be a maze of intake piping.

lol, I'm assuming their thinking smaller turbo+ lot's of exhaust=less lag, but remember smaller turbo+ less exhaust=same amount of lag/no change. I'd like to know what others think, about the technical aspects of this setup.

maybe the turbos are run sequentially. that would remove lag.

no real info about the setup...

I'm sure it doesn't put down anything crazy but still would like to see it in action.

I don't see how they could be by what I'm looking at.
