So, how are you gonna start it? Using the electric traction motor to also start the Diesel?

The diesel is a V twin, which will lend it self quite nice to twin turbos :-) So it will be interesting to see how much horsepower we can make out of that little 2 cylinder diesel. I will have to design my own water/methanol injection system for it, which will not be to difficult. The injection once its fine tuned should allow the diesel to handle the twin turbos just fine :-)

Honestly, I'd advice you to get a single turbo, preferably a twin-scroll. That would lead to a lighter setup and a single turbo seems to be gonna spool faster from lower revvings
