One more, plausible option Lander 70mm (1700W) 10-blade EDF Unit inc Motor for 6S LiPo
This could could be mounted in the intake system after the Intercooler, it has a plastic blade . A metallic or high temperature plastic blade can be 3D printed to permit hotter Intake Air Temperature. To take advantage of the hot expanded (higher volume ) air right off the compressor. Again risk of failure in a prototype =$1000s damage . So not so good on primary turbo at this time. I am thinking a secondary as before, this time leave it intact and blow through 1to as many as you can afford@£79.95 ea without building to much backpresser,causing the valves to flote.
After much testing this could then advance to the primary and under low boost (turbo lag )it could be powered as a blower of sorts. Negative pressure on the Intake impeller should spool faster. As well as 1-3psi boost at idle posable ( I don't know how thrust translates) More research is in store.
Theory to contemplate. Each ducted fan unit would cause a presser drop =reduction of air temperature., as well as a venture effect.
If we can find one of theas rated for 700°f continuous it could be mounted straight in the exhaust pipe or 1.5"size 1 in each header primarily. Pulses on a moment befor the valve opens then transitions to Generator mode. Ideas I'm full of them.

Gumby stay flexible.
