i thought the turbo was spun by the pressure of the exhaust, im pretty sure its not heat. And the website says the turbo is fully spooled by 3,000 RPMS. As for lag, yes their might be some, not much more than adding a intercooler. With my car i would prolly need to at 7FT of tubiing to connecting the turbo to the intake. A good intercooler could easily have that much in tubbing, but i dont need to run an intercooler if i run this. Im not looking for high PSI either, 6-8 PSI at most. As for lagging cause of the long pipe, i dont think their would be that much because of the dynamics of airflow. When air is pushed, the air molecules dont move through the air, instead they push the air molecules in front of them, like a big massive chain reaction. The webpag does that that 1/4-1/2 PSI can be lost in the pipping, but thats not a big deal to me, cause im not looking for massive performance, just something to play around with and take to the track every once in a while. I dont want to spend really more than 2G's on it. Not to mention my automotive skills are a little lacking.
As for electric superchargers, yes i think like 99% of them are all a bunch of BS, a fan cant create PSI, but a turbo can. So since i need to pay off some bills (nice amount of credit card debt) i decided to try one out, i havent gotten it yet, but it should be here withing the next 3-4weeks (it was on back order). Anyways this is the best claims ive ever seen for an electric supercharger, and it comes with a 10HP moneyback guarante. So worst case i spend a few bucks on shipping. The E-Turbo claims 800CFM airflow @ 2PSI with a 12V motor.

if it works, great ill be happy with 10HP, if not ill just send it back and get my money back. I know of all the scams on ebay and ive searched through a ton of these things, and this one was by far the best yet. If it can produce 2 PSI, i should gain about 20HP. . .but we will just have to wait and see about it.
