Boost makes power no surprise.
You have to keep the car running and a over a certain amperage to charge the box, so it's obvious they're using some big ass capacitors in the box. BTW it's enough to be lethal so I wouldn't mess around with the box.
If you noticed power dropped when not in use, so the turbo is a restriction.
I doubt if D-jet could keep the AFR up to the boost so you would likely need an EFI system to adjust the timing and fuel maps to the boost.
The boost isn't earth shattering at 5 pounds, but that's about all a T4 can handle and have a chance at a reasonable lifespan.
So it's OK for the dragstrip, but it wouldn't fair to well on a track or everyday use. For my money I'd do one of McMarks 1.7 turbo systems before I'd plop down $2500 on this electric turbo. 1.7's can be had for cheap so if you don't mind wrenching whenever a engine pops this could be for you.
Most of my engine builds are NA and high CR, so I'd be looking to build a lower CR engine for turbo.The stock 914 engines are likely OK to go as most are 8.5:1 CR or lower.
