Cool, seen the car loads, but never seen this vid before.
Basically a jet turbine works just like a turbo, and can easy use the massive amount of exhaust gas from the turbine to feed the turbine (or HELP) feed the turbine of the cars actual turbo.
Ie its got a turbine feeding (maybe with a Y-piece so exhaust gas from engine can help too) the turbos turbine, meaning the turbo is always at full boost (or whatever needed for the revs, easy controlled by wastegate) all the time regardless of revs or throttle position.
Not that hard
The vid makes out like the heli turbine feeds the engine itself, im pretty sure it dont, it just feeds the turbo exhaust gas to keep it spooled....

Ok, rather a preburner burner then? in effect it's a twin turbo, the turbo jet is feeding the car turbo...
Yeah I suppose using an afterburner was the wrong way round, but I knew what I meant.

Ah good.
I mean getting on for 1000bhp per tonne at a wild guess, slicks, 4x4, TC, anti lag, x-trac magic, and 60 achievable in first gear, should hope it could do that

Last time I saw it it had single turbo,may be a mistake.
Might be twin turbo tho, who knows, could be 2cyls per turbo, could be sequential, could be compund charged, just s it 4cyl dont matter.

The puma is a proper weapon, but I can't quite get my head round twin turbos on it - why not one big one with ALS?
