This has been discussed a little bit before. IMO it can be useful, but the question is really how useful? With a small turbo system one could achieve increased torque at low rpms (less than 3000) and increase peak BSFC at those rpm. Above that, friction from the engine ends up beating out much of the benefit the turbo provides. So, your gains would be mainly be from 0 - 3000 rpm. If the turbo provides above optimal torque, ignition timing must be pulled back and you again loose efficiency. Tuning this setup would be quite the task, but I hear you guys are pretty good. It would be interesting to see the setup.
