the write up on bbcf1 is quite interesting. i think the cylinder bit int he middle might be something to do with the new type of kers, they can use it for extra boost or a bit like antilag as i read it.

I'll have to have a look for the specific article you're talking about, but i saw something a few weeks ago that sounded similar, it looked like a turbo, only with a long core section and was electric.
