As you can tell that company has serious problems.
Those units are designed for large trucks. They are supposed to kick in before the main turbo to get rid of the low end lag.
Some other companies tried to market this type of system to street racers. It failed due to large current drain and little actual boost.
Alt.autos.tech had a thread a few years ago the subject.
