Who's to say that 1bar is the optimal use of a turbo? Certainly design it for low-boost, but have it configurable up to a few psi. Sounds interesting to me, if not a VERY expensive way to save a little fuel.

Can't you buy an EV kit for about the same price as a turbo kit? (taking sold motor and stuff into account). Maybe tuning a pre-turbod car would make the most sense.
