Makes sense, but would it be just as beneficial to even up the con of using something like the alternator or direct drive?? Having the benefit of boost off the line, unlike a turbo...having to get rpms up to create the boost.
Plus the benefits of tuning of using something like compressed air. Instead of having to changed out expensive turbos to create higher boost, you could just open up the regulator. I saw in a marine/boating magazine where a coast gaurd boat was powered by a duramax with a supercharger feeding 2 turbos (not sure why they just would use the supercharger...just allowing more room for energy loss  ).
Has compressed air ever been tested on a diesel? Anythime I search for this I pull up stuff about on board air compressors and air horns.
