The losses associated with todays turbos is very little at lower boost. On my last setup the turbo improved the engine efficiency of my engine a ton, but to improve FE I had to run it in lean burn do to air mass increasing.
I still think you can use a turbo compound system on a downside engine like I did on my 2.0L. and be more efficient then an electric assist setup?
