yeah, this is just a simple tubocharger, right? And, contra Jared, there IS turbo lag. Supercharger (off of crank, NOT exhaust) cuts out lag

my understanding is that turbo and super were done in piston aero engines FIRST, made their way to cars later. Jet engine doubles down:

a jet engine is NOTHING BUT a supercharger. First stage: compressor. Second stage: almost nothing (flame holder). Third stage: exhaust turbo

you need flame holder to give the flame front respite from the full-on airflow; without a hiding spot, gets blown out like birthday candle

wrong re turbine lag, I think. The capacitance is in the flame front / compressibility of air.
