You can use antilag as well to achieve the same effect without electric turbochargers

Bad for emissions though so it'd never be OEM.

Edit: Also bad for the valvetrain. 4T engines aren't really meant to be run as 2T..

Isn't anti-lag (the type that invokes combustion in the exhaust, anyway) terrible for turbochargers, long-term?

It's bad for everything but it's awesome
