I guess that some form of afterburner could be installed between the valves and turbo, to add heat energy to the exhaust, during lower RPM. But I believe that just by resizing the turbo, both the intake and exhaust impellers, could result in a turbo that pumps out a lot of air at lower RPM. Yes, it would be less efficient at higher RPM because of so much wasted blow-by, but it would really reduce turbo lag.

I think that theWRC cars have air restrictors so the engines wont be effective at high rpm anyway.

But how can the turbo begin to "spool up" when you push the accelerator but the rpm doesnt increase(like when you lfb) ?

Im just curious.
