....  Specifically, the Pikes Peak cars used an Fuel injection system to the
Exhaust Manifold (yup) to keep the turbo spooled ala Turbine technology.....
 A real scarey thought....   

Some sensibility might be in order with this thread.....  If you have a kitty
littered car forget it....   The O2 sensor is in serious jeapardy of
meltdown, so you would eliminate the lamda circuit pretty quickly.  Backfires
in this type of system can be, um, like, uh, catastrophic
(understatement).....   There are other more sensible ways to reduce turbo
lag.......  S4 turbos do it, so do some modified stock turbos, or RS2's,
computer boxes.
