Hmm, I wasn't really thinking that anyone would use this for a trackday car, that sounds like a ... poor choice.
eSC sounds like strictly daily driver usability, if at all. Until you get to F1 level of tech for all out performance that requires huge amounts of skill and downforce.

long live rotary!

this is just reply to Sonicsdaman post about the ebay crap.
This is the guy with the mazda 3 that has been fitted with the kit. He has a boost gauge which does go positive lol but hes only making about 3psi of boost in that car. Also for the others who have concerns about it being a restriction at low rpm, you can also see the blower spools just enough have no restriction of air flow when he's not flooring it.
Also "The FTS recharges the aux batteries at a 8:1 rate (1 second of boost = 8 seconds of recharge)" pulled that from the tech page of the website.

These guys apparently have some awesome motors that are made for this purpose(charging of engines is specifically mentioned), e+a MotorScout
For example possible 14.5kW at 60.000RPM from a 100x100mm package(watercooled)! Torque doesnt start to decline before this RPM, and max is 96kRPM. There has been a revolution on the size lately. Earlier, an electric motor would be 3 times the size of a hydraulic motor. Now its down to 1:1, and inertia is only a fraction of what it used to be on normal asynch motors. Quite awesome.
Still you have to harvest the power from somewhere, but if you are running at higher voltage, currents can be reduced equally.
