New Turbo Charged Diesel 2-stroke For The Stag!

[Daleo]

What has stopped car builders using this kind of technology with car turbos? some kind of gear that was running the turbo just on positive boost then as engine speed increase the gear is disengaged via a clutch? surely that would make for instant boost off the line and in between gear changes etc?

I would imagine most of it would be packaging related, on an engine that big you can put the turbo near the end of the block, whereas in a car, if you were going to the trouble of lining up gear paths, just go supercharger.
