    The same reason you do everything. Because you can.

    Ah yeah and keep it topped up by a Petrol powered air compressor in the boot? Not sure why turbo cars canīt dump the blow off into a accumulator tank and use it to reduce lag. Probably too much hassel for too little return.

    or take it a step furthur and have supercharged engines do the same under engine braking; the ducati v-one is the first I heard of that technique being applied, it's pretty out there in other aspects though too. Personally I'd really like to have a go at making a charged two stroke with direct injection and an exhaust valve (gear driven and pneumatic lifters for extra awesome), serious CNC time required for a prototype there though.

    They probably could, but then the boyz would miss out on the "fish" noise that alerts everyone to the fact that the car has a turbo.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
