The first thing that came to my mind the first time I read this thread... which goes along with your statement Ecky, was of an engine I had seen some time ago that uses waste exhaust gasses and transfers that energy into a separate piston, as a secondary stage of sorts and removes extra power from that stored energy and then dumps it into the turbo... And it has some impressive performance #s... I finally found the site...
It's called a 5 stroke engine.
dfelddt91 if you can do this to your the VW engine, then that would be awesome!
